The Art of Gardening

Mary Robinson
£7.50

In 'The Art of Gardening', local author Mary Robinson explores her personal memories, the lives of other writers and her experiences of particular places.
She begins with a childhood museum visit and ends with a sequence of poems prompted by The Poetics of Space by the French philosopher, Gaston Bachelard. In the title poem, the Czech writer Karel Èapek plants bulbs that will continue to flower in Prague long after his death. Alongside visits to the Scottish islands, Germany and Norway, there are poems in the voices of, among others, George Orwell on Jura, James Joyce’s publisher in Paris and a fifteenth-century master printer in Venice.
