Description

Could there be a more pleasant way to spend a warm afternoon than lazing under a tree reading poetry inspired by these shade-giving wonders of the world? Trees have sparked some of the biggest literary imaginations over the ages and – as the climate emergency escalates – it has never been more important to appreciate our vital connection to them.

This beautifully illustrated anthology of sixty tree poems is a celebration of our love of trees. With poems by some of the world’s best-loved poets including William Wordsworth, Thomas Hardy, William Meredith and W.H. Auden, The Book of Tree Poems will help you see trees as you’ve never seen them before.
