Description

More than a book of poems on gardening and the art of living, Growing Lavender and Other Poems is a collection to be savored: a modern woman’s Walden that chronicles Iris’s journey through everyday joys and loss. There is delight in the heady scent of lavender, seeing a smiling “black dog racing” and recognizing “you’ve seen something amazing in this crazy world.” There is also sorrow of a lost blue-eyed child and a mother with Alzheimer’s who concludes, “There’s too much to remember.” Iris’s quieted mind speaks courage and beauty to everyone who has ever lost a loved one or cherished a garden.
