    Today's poem on Penny's Poetry Blog:
    A Winter Day, by Lucy Maud Montgomery
    [...]
    Tall pines the marge of day beset
    Like many a slender minaret,
    Whence priest-like winds on crystal air
    Summon the reverent world to prayer.

    Another obscure poet, to me, anyway.

    Thanks again, George

    Montgomery's looking like another Margaret Deland; she published only one p..d. book of her early poetry (and then went on to write novels), but that one looks full of poems that have a place on the blog. I've only started reading /The Watchman/, and I
    haven't looked through the credits, but her poems look like verse she sent to and had published in magazines. Meaning they're all well-written, and a great deal of them are seasonal.

    Also, unlike with Deland, there's less danger of running out. Montgomery has a posthumous Collected Poems, and while that's copyrighted, all the poems in it that she published in mags would be p.d. So, if I run out of Montgomery poems in /The
    Watchman/, I can always buy a copy of that. You see, while her poetry is obscure, she is a very well-known writer in Canada; like Deland again, she was a best-selling novelist in her day; and because she wrote children's novels, they've lasted and are
    still widely read today - especially her first one, which enjoys almost a cult status.

    Thanks again, George

    I enjoy sharing information, and getting it into written form is satisfying in itself; but it also feels nice to get a "thanks" now and then.



    Good morning, thanks for the back story.

    Good morning, thanks for the back story.

    I just realized I'd better jump in and say, before NastyGoon Googles and "tells the group", that her cult novel was /Anne of Green Gables/. I'm sure you recognize the title, and probably her name with that prompt, but just didn't make the connection.
    Yes, I'm familiar with the title, but never read the book.

    Well, it was a novel for girls. I probably read my sister's copy.

    Could be how I missed it.

    Many of the girls at my school were reading "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath, "Love Story" and "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", and I did read those.

    I recognized the cast in that version. It was a mini-series on CBC in
    the mid-1980s. It got excellent ratings, and lunched the career of Megan Fellowes, who played Anne. I knew it had been released in some countries
    as a movie, but didn't know that included the USA.
