The Poetry of Flowers - Hardcover
by Samuel Carr (Author)
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 that contains over fifty 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 honor the summer color of asters, the heady scent of jasmine, and the brazen sunflower. The classic poets, including Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, and Seamus Heaney, are featured. There's also a range of rich poetry from less-famous names that 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.Samuel Carr was a successful editor of a series of poetry anthologies including Ode to Flowers and Ode to the Countryside. He was also the editor of Classic Hymns and Poems, all published by Batsford.
