Description
Blossomise by Simon Armitage A poetic celebration of spring's fleeting beauty, Blossomise explores the joy and melancholy of the blossom season. With a unique blend of traditional forms and modern language, Simon Armitage brings new energy to this timeless subject. From the intense, haiku-inspired poems that honour the Japanese blossom festival, to the lyrical pieces that evoke the style of ballads and nursery rhymes, this collection of 21 poems takes the reader on a journey through the natural world and our relationship with it. Accompanied by wonderful illustrations, Blossomise is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves nature, poetry, and the changing seasons.
