«“This anthology offers a rich compendium of classic and contemporary writings inspired by wildflowers . . . a prismatic and dynamic work.”»
Publishers Weekly
«“A luminous selection of essays, poems, and letters that leap and bound through mood, time and place, with writers of every shape and form from America’s foundation years to the present day”»
Financial Times
«A sensitive but substantial florilegium of poems, essays, and letters from the 1700s to the present about wildflowers and their place in this world past, present, and future . . . The collection as a whole reminds us how lucky we are to share the world with this variety of shape and color, and to open our eyes to what grows on the side of the highway, between cracks in the sidewalk, along the riverbank.»
Boston Globe
«“A significant addition to the tradition of writing about plants, this anthology urges us to notice the lessons offered by the tiniest bluet.”»
