RHS BOOK OF FLOWER POETRY AND PROSE

This volume brings together a selection of poetry and prose from a broad range of writers, from Shakespeare and Milton, to Reginald Farrer and Edward Augustus Bowles, to twentieth-century poets such as Marianne Moore and Theodore Roethke. Familiar wild and garden flowers are here explored in all their moods and mysteries. The poems and extracts are illustrated with botanical prints from the remarkable collection at the RHS Lindley Library, acknowledged as the world's finest horticultural library.
