A unique anthology of poems—from around the world and through the ages—that celebrate trees. AN EVERYMAN’S LIBRARY POCKET POET.
For 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 P’o 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.
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.
Includes:
• “Birches” by Robert Frost
• “The Camperdown Elm” by Marianne Moore
• “Binsey Poplars” by Gerard Manley Hopkins
• “Sequoia” by Zbigniew Herbert
• “The Lemon Trees” by Eugenio Montale
• “The Apples” by Yves Bonnefoy
• “The Plum Tree” by Bertolt Brecht
• “The Almond Tree” by D.H. Lawrence
• “The Loveliest of Trees” by A.E. Housman
