Published by Plants & Poetry
Plants & Poetry Journal is thrilled to announce the first anthology that features poets, writers, and artists from around the world. Contributors narrate a plant's perspective and/or describe their relationship with a specific plant. 60+ species are featured in Plant People, An Anthology of Environmental Artists.
It can be accompanied with an interactive Plant Diary. This plant diary is a tool you can use to document all your plant babies and their details. Each page provides a space for you to write down the sun and water requirements, and age of the plant. You will also be able to sketch what the plant looks like. Order both for $40 and SAVE $5.
Talking With Trees by Lucia Coppola
Talking With Trees is about how nature speaks to the imagination. It's the story of a magical journey into the garden and the extraordinary adventure of ordinary things.
This is an inspiring invitation to venture and explore. The words are composed so that they move in a perpetual dance with stillness, rhythm, breath, and song. Illuminating poetry and enchanting photography are weaved into a tale that bridges the human and plant.
"Coppola has a fine ear for rhythms and how such poetic movement can create a song within the soul." -Charles A. Swanson, Editor "Songs of Eretz"
"There's so much beauty, depth and thought here. It's a philosophy of life! I started highlighting different lines that spoke to me and then went back and read from the beginning and by the end, almost everything was highlighted." -Kimmen Sjölander, scientist, professor, writer, poet.
