Heart of the Flower: Poems for the Sensuous Gardener

Poetry. This first-of-its-kind collection of poems is intended for gardeners who cannot, even in season, get enough of flower gardening through eyes, nose, fingertips, knees or backs, and who, out of season, feel restless and uprooted. The setting in most of the fifty-one poems is the flower garden. The images are botanically and horticulturally accurate. The order of the poems reflects a gardener's year. Alive among the poems are the compelling blossoms, stalks and leaves of Emily Nelligan's drawings.Heart of the Flower: Poems for the Sensuous Gardener, First Edition was published 1991 under ISBN 9780961911126 and ISBN 0961911123.
