The Herb Garden is an imaginary representation of what his herbarium might have looked like. The dialect of the collection is a mix of middle and modern English, a verbal florilegium meant to explore the exuberant richness of the English language that much of contemporary poetry has scanted or forgotten. The collection is also conceived as a kind of "sapiential book," a form of counsel literature or life manual with an emphasis on everyday practice and the poet's craft.Genre: Poetry & DramaBook Series: Essential Poets seriesItem Width: 6mmRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
