Bartram's Garden (Carnegie Mellon Poetry)

From Brazil€s Bay of All Saints to Philadelphia, from Florida€s brutal humidity to the drought-scorched Cape Verde Islands, Bartram€s Garden takes in the pulse and ache of the natural world: the bittern balanced in the swamp, cashew fruit€s astringent flesh. With a gardener€s eye for color and motif, and a mother€s open-hearted sensibility, these poems explore vivid landscapes both intimate and foreign.
