Publisher Notes
In The Poetry of Roses, Carolyn Parker celebrates the rose, pairing her exquisite full-color photographs or blooms from her own garden with the evocative poems she has chosen to accompany them. Here are roses in the garden, roses in formal arrangements, roses heaped in baskets, along with tributes to the flower from such diverse writers as Sappho, the haiku master Basho, Emily Dickenson, John Milton, Walt Whitman, e.e. cummings, T.S. Eliot, and Jorge Luis Borges, among others.
As it was centuries ago for the Persian poet Attar, so it is for us today: The rose remains a flower of mysterious beauty, of many moods, with myriad symbolic associations. Parker celebrates the rose, pairing her exquisite full-color photographs of blooms from her own garden with evocative poems by such diverse writers as Sappho, Emily Dickinson, John Milton, e.e. cummings, T.S. Eliot, and Jorge Luis Borges, among others. 84 photos.
