Description
Inspired by Shakespeare's songs, the short poems of Emily Dickinson, and Wordsworth's Lucy poems, this collection of songlike poetry is based on the ubiquitous spread of weeds--like the shallow rooting plants, small poems can grow anywhere. Featuring a number of traditional forms but also showcasing the ancient Persian Ghazal, these poems reinstate the joyful audible aspect of the lyric.
