Garden Variety
Lively and full of surprises, this anthology is bursting with unusual treatments of flowers familiar as tulips and rarer than orchids. From hothouse to backyard plot to the ends of the globe, in elegant solitude or aromatic profusion, flowers are contemplated on these pages, and mourned, admired, and thoroughly savoured by an abundant variety of gifted poets, both established and from the grass roots. A book for everyone who has ever stopped a moment to smell the roses.
