Carol Ann Duffy brings together an anthology of one hundred modern and classic poems which illustrate the beauty and awe of the natural world, and prompt us to rethink our place in the world.
Vita Sackville-West encounters a frog by torchlight, Norman MacCaig famously addresses a toad, while Charlotte Mew mourns the cutting-down of elms on her London street. Keats is transported by the nightingale and Edward Thomas by nettles. Les Murray eulogizes 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, poems from diverse cultures, Earth Prayers is a glorious new anthology for everyone who loves the world and the life it sustains.
