FAVOURITE FLOWER POEMS

A rich collection of poetry celebrating the beauty of flowers, illustrated throughout. Poets have always written about the beginning of spring, with the emergence of snowdrops, daffodils, and bluebells, but this collection includes the summer colour of asters, the heady scent of jasmine, and the brazen sunflower. The poets featured including Shakespeare, Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and Seamus Heaney, as well as a range of less-famous names whose work evoking nature's beauty has stood the test of time.
