POETRY OF FLOWERS (HB)

A revised and updated edition of a collection of over 50 poems, accompanied by beautiful illustrations of a range of different flowers. Here are 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. Featured poets include Shakespeare, Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and Seamus Heaney, as well as contemporary poets such as Lemn Sissay, Imtiaz Dharker, Wendy Cope and Ada Limon.
