{"product_id":"florilegium-molly-vogel-9781848617025","title":"Florilegium","description":"\u003cp\u003eMolly Vogel's first collection of poems, \u003cem\u003eFlorilegium\u003c\/em\u003e is an exploration of life written in 'the language of flowers'. The poems regard flowers as both symbols and means of communication; in a broader sense, they deem the natural world essential to our understanding of words, ourselves, and the divine. Like Coleridge's rook in 'This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison', the flower is a sign that connects those disparately placed, both geographically and emotionally. \u003cem\u003eFlorilegium\u003c\/em\u003e finds its blooms in Scotland as well as California; in free verse as well as stricter form; in books as well as dreams; on streets and at shrines as well as in wild gardens. Fittingly, the poems are varied and vividly colourful, inviting and surprising. They precede a long-form glossary, a meditation growing out from the poems' words but also from the entire history of literature and thought around flowers. Though intertwined with the poems, the glossary is a collection in itself: in equal parts literary criticism, philosophical treatise, and prose poem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Molly Vogel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184861702X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848617025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Molly Vogel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978497261823,"sku":"9781848617025","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_298c2c88-12ec-4c70-90c3-947061465302.jpg?v=1683241870","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/florilegium-molly-vogel-9781848617025","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
