Leaning Toward Light: Poems for Gardens & The Hands that Tend Them

by Tess Taylor Author and Aimee Nezhukumatathil Illustrator

This anthology of poetry contains a wide range of poems with a variety of voices speaking to the collective societal urge to heal our planet and ourselves. The majority of these poems align themselves with the caring of plants — aimed at those who like verse and verdure, greenery, and like both offer solace and peace to many. This contains deep reflection about the world of today and our connection to the natural world but also contains some personal recipes from the contributing poets, illustrated vibrantly. Its ribbon marker and elegant hardcover make it a handsome gift for the person to whom might find the benefit and enjoyment of reading about the poetry of plants.
