There are many wonderful pieces of writing that are winter themed. From the poetry of Robert Frost to Leo Tolstoy's battle scenes in the snowy landscape of Russia to the fantasy world of George Martin where the Stark's motto is, "Winter is Coming," winter has sparked the imaginations of many authors, and we present some suggestions for winter reading. These are by no means all of the works available, but they are a sampling. If you would like any further suggestions, please feel free to contact one of wonderful librarians for more information.
The Call of the Wild and White Fang by 
If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by 
Murder on the Orient Express by Richard Meier
Shyly coated in greys, blacks, browns -
to keep us out of sight of the cold -
we weren't expecting this this morning: sun
and shadows, like a summer's evening, like summer
teasing. And not quite under the shelter on
the northbound platform, an old man, the sun
behind him, just his crown ablaze; and heading
southbound, a woman inching ever nearer
the platform edge, the light a tear
across her midriff, ribcage, shoulders, closer
and closer that dearest thing, completeness,
all her darkness light at the one time.
Frank O'Hara
