Poems about Trees - Harry Thomas

Detalii:

nA unique anthology of poems--from around the world and through the ages--that celebrate trees. nFor thousands of years humans have variously worshipped trees, made use of them, admired them, and destroyed them--and poets have long chronicled the relationship. Poets from Homer and Virgil to Wordsworth, Whitman, and Thoreau, from Su Tung Po and Basho to Czeslaw Milosz and W. S. Merwin have celebrated sacred groves, wild woodlands, and bountiful orchards, and the results include some of our most beloved poems. n nRobert Frosts Birches, Marianne Moores The Camperdown Elm, Gerard Manley Hopkinss Binsey Poplars, and Zbigniew Herberts Sequoia stand tall beside Eugenio Montales The Lemon Trees, Yves Bonnefoys The Apples, Bertolt Brechts The Plum Tree, D. H. Lawrences The Almond Tree, and A. E. Housmans Loveliest of Trees. Whether showing their subjects being planted or felled, cherished or lamented, towering in forests or flowering in backyards, the poems collected here pay lyrical tribute to these majestic beings with whom we share the earth.n
