John Burroughs

    3. duben 1837 – 29. březen 1921

    John Burroughs byl přední americký esejista a filozof přírody. Jeho díla, převážně sbírky esejí, se zabývají propojením přírody a filozofie. Burroughs formuloval vlastní náboženství založené na úžasu a zvídavosti z vesmíru. Byl oceňován jako „Velký starý muž přírody“ a jeho vliv na žánr přírodní eseje byl srovnáván s Thoreauem.

      This collection of 31 poems by 15 of the nation's finest established and emerging poets explores the idea of Hope, a commodity desperately needed in this age of meanness, desperation, distrust, and apathy. Fresh off the success of Mad As Hell: An Anthology of Angry Poetry, Simple Simons Press founder and editor J. R. Simons has gathered some of the best poems expressing hope for a better future, or as Barbara Sabol reminds us at the end of her poem, "Summer along the Stonycreek" - "Listen now to the river's patter, reminding us/not everything is broken."
