A Little Treasury of Christmas - Easter Poems

A Little Treasury of Christmas - Easter Poems, compiled by the late B.V. Subramanyan, is a heartwarming anthology of 250 carefully selected poems that celebrate the spirit of Christmas and Easter. This compilation, born from decades of passion for English literature, showcases the works of 102 poets spanning centuries, including luminaries such as Virgil, St. Ambrose, John Milton, Robert Herrick, William Shakespeare, and Alfred Tennyson.

The anthology contains 43 anonymous poems, translations of ancient works like Antiphons in Latin Breviary (12th century), and iconic poems originally in Italian, Latin, and Spanish, thoughtfully translated into English. Each poem captures the essence of the seasons of joy and renewal, weaving themes of faith, love, and reverence for Christ’s nativity and resurrection.

This treasury is a testament to Subramanyan's dedication, enriched with classic Christmas carols, Easter hymns, and reflective musings from poets like Robert Southwell, Christina Rossetti, and John Donne. From the timeless beauty of O Come, All Ye Faithful to the evocative imagery of Good Friday by John Donne, this collection is an essential addition to the libraries of poetry enthusiasts and lovers of seasonal reflections.
