At the Wind's Will: Lyrics and Sonnets (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

At the Wind's Will, Lyrics and Sonnets by Louise Chandler Moulton is a set of lyrics, sonnets, rondels, rondeaux and quatrains. Full of soul and marked refinement, she successfully stirs a flurry of emotions through beautiful poetry. As her third volume of poems, At the Wind's Will, Lyrics and Sonnets also highlights Louise Chandler Moulton's journey through the years as a poet with a distinct depth and weight that has definitely evolved with time.

Of the various styles showcased in this book, the author seems to be most comfortable with lyrics and sonnets. The fact that comparisons were made to Shakespeare, Vaughan and Fletcher for this work only goes to show the high esteem and reverence she enjoyed as one of the leading American poets of her time. At the Wind's Will, Lyrics and Sonnets moves like waves in the sea, for a moment decisive and strong and in another, slipping away ever so slightly and it is this turmoil of emotion that really defines the length and breadth of this book.

An underlying tone that the reader will eventually take away from this work is that of optimism and happiness. Even melancholy and sorrow seem to find a silver lining in the words Louise Chandler Moulton so unassumingly strings together. At the Wind's Will, Lyrics and Sonnets is a book for everyone because inside it contains an undying ray of hope and if not for the love of poetry then just for the love of life, everybody should see the world through the eyes of Louise Chandler Moulton.
