The Wonderfull Yeare (a Shepherd's Calendar)
A full-length collection of poetry by Nate Pritts.

Nate Pritts’ The Wonderfull Yeare invents new forms for feeling, bringing to life a speaker who sees, in nature, suggestive (but possibly untranslatable, inimitable) directions for moving forward from sorrow. The shepherd’s calendar becomes “a branch that would reach” — balancing lyric beauty against blunt knowledge of loss and regret — while repetition and revision alert us to restrictions: we feel the “rigid world” the poet describes, hurt by hard boundaries that forbid return. To read these touching collage poems is to make the slow and transformative passage from a “constant red ache” to “blue night... // & then afterward.”
