Bartram's Garden

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.
