Ten Poems about Daffodils
Candlestick Press
The most famous flowers in poetry must surely be William Wordsworth’s daffodils, expressing the joy of stumbling upon unexpected beauty. And being beautiful is something that daffodils just can’t help…
Over and again the poems in Ten Poems about Daffodils celebrate the flower’s gloriously jaunty yellow-ness, which seems to spell hope at a time when spring has barely got going. The poems are guaranteed to gladden the heart, encouraging us to pay attention to the everyday splendour of this much-loved herald of spring.
Poems by Jason Allen-Paisant, Moya Cannon, Gillian Clarke, Isobel Dixon, UA Fanthorpe, Phoebe Hesketh, Clinton Scollard, David Scott, Dorothy Wordsworth and William Wordsworth. Cover illustration by Jane Burn.
