Description
‘Carol Ann Duffy is the most humane and accessible poet of our time’ - Guardian
Carol Ann Duffy brings together an anthology of one hundred modern and classic poems which capture moments of revelation, empathy or difference with the non-human and, in doing so, prompt us to rethink our place in the world.
Vita Sackville-West encounters a frog by torchlight and Norman MacCaig, famously, addresses a toad. Simon Armitage kicks and demolishes a mushroom while Charlotte Mew mourns the cutting-down of elms in her London Street. Keats is transported by the nightingale and Edward Thomas by nettles. Les Murray eulogises his runner-beans and Liz Lochhead tells us what the pool said on midsummer’s day.
With poems from Shakespeare to Bishop and Heaney, Chaucer to Hopkins, out-of-copyright poems, to poems from diverse cultures, Green Epiphanies will be a glorious new anthology for everyone who loves the world and the life it sustains.
