Description
A rich collection of poetry that celebrates the beauty and symbolism of flowers.
This exquisite book is a revised and updated edition of a classic collection which contains over 50 poems accompanied by beautiful illustrations of a range of different flowers. From verses celebrating the beginning of spring with the emergence of the snowdrops, daffodils, and bluebells, to poems that honour the summer colour of asters, the heady scent of jasmine, and the brazen sunflower.
The classic poets are featured, including Shakespeare, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and Seamus Heaney. There's also a range of rich poetry from less-famous names which have stood the test of time and evoke nature’s beauty, as well as contemporary poets such as Lemn Sissay, Imtiaz Dharker, Wendy Cope and Ada Limón.
