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. It demonstrates a mastery of traditional forms and experiments with the Ghazal, an ancient Persian form.
