Book description
Weeds and Wild Flowers is a magical meeting of the poems of Alice
Oswald and the etchings of Jessica Greenman. Within its pages everyday
flora take on an extraordinary life, jostling tragically at times, at
times comically, for a foothold in a busying world. Stunningly
visualised and skilfully animated, this imaginative collaboration
beckons us toward a landscape of botanical characters, and invites us
to see ourselves among them.
Alice Oswald lives in Devon and is married with three children.
Dart, her second collection, won the T. S. Eliot Prize in 2002. Her
most recent collection, Woods etc, is a Poetry Book Society Choice and
was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Collection and the T.
S. Eliot Prize.
