An early work from the acclaimed poet of Memorial and Falling Awake, appearing for the first time in the United States. A Sleepwalk on the Severn is a reflective, book-length poem in several registers, using dramatic dialogue. Ghostly, meditative, and characterized by Alice Oswald’s signature sensitivity to nature, the poem chronicles a night on the Severn Estuary as the moonrise travels through its five stages: new moon, half moon, full moon, no moon, and moon reborn.

When Luisa Igloria cites Epictetus—‘as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place'—she introduces the crowded and contradictory world her poems portray: a realm of transience, yes, where the vulnerable come to harm and everything disappears, but also a scene of tremendous, unpredictable bounty, the gloriously hued density this poet loves to detail. ‘I was raised / to believe not only the beautiful can live on / Parnassus,’ she tells us, and she makes it true, by including in the cyclonic swirl of her poems practically everything: a gorgeous, troubling over-brimming universe." —:Mark Doty,Mark Doty, judge for the 2014 Swenson Award The May Swenson Poetry Award, an annual competition named for May Swenson, honors her as one of America's most provocative and vital writers. During her long career, Swenson was loved and praised by writers from virtually every school of American poetry. She left a legacy of fifty years of writing when she died in 1989. She is buried in Logan, Utah, her hometown.

Weeds and Wild Flowers is a magical meeting of the poems of Alice Oswald and the etchings of Jessica Greenman. Within its pages everyday flora take on an extraordinary life, jostling tragically at times, at times comically, for a foothold in a busying world. Stunningly visualised and skilfully animated, this imaginative collaboration beckons us toward a landscape of botanical characters, and invites us to see ourselves among them.

Like the Wild Flower that grows in the wild, in the valley and in the meadow and atop a hill or floats on the river, poetry as well as the stories grew from within me naturally - they are not implants from without . The urge to write was natural, arising out of my experiences in life and how they got entwined with my emotions - my trepidations like the first time when I as a child hesitantly neared the water front and dipped my foot into the cold icy water, how these struck a chord within me and urged me to express my feelings. Slowly like the way a flower matures, the onslaught of varied experience moulded my thoughts and inspired my poetry. It continued to articulate my joy of unfurling the curtains of perception and sharing the joy of living and sometimes the pain that came with it. Life has so much to offer and often so much to take away from us all . Our convictions, our doubts, our joy and our sorrow - all of them blend together in our quest for that ever eluding meaning such feelings hold for us -and what could be more beautiful and more lyrical than to express our innermost thoughts through poetry. Like they say, poetry is magical!

“A visual treat as well as a literary one…for gardeners and garden lovers, connoisseurs of botanical illustration, and those who seek a deeper understanding of the life and work of Emily Dickinson.” —The Wall Street Journal Emily Dickinson was a keen observer of the natural world, but less well known is the fact that she was also an avid gardener—sending fresh bouquets to friends, including pressed flowers in her letters, and studying botany at Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke. At her family home, she tended both a small glass conservatory and a flower garden. In Emily Dickinson’s Gardening Life, award-winning author Marta McDowell explores Dickinson’s deep passion for plants and how it inspired and informed her writing. Tracing a year in the garden, the book reveals details few know about Dickinson and adds to our collective understanding of who she was as a person. By weaving together Dickinson’s poems, excerpts from letters, contemporary and historical photography, and botanical art, McDowell offers an enchanting new perspective on one of America’s most celebrated but enigmatic literary figures.

“WILD FLOWER” is a collection of 125 poems. The poems are not of a specific grounded theme rather a mixture of colours what we see among the branches of natural garden or in deep forest. That signifies the title of the book. As I am a budding poet and my endeavour is like a bourn. Nevertheless I want to be a fountain to carry my poems as little waves. And I am sure, once the strangers walking on the edges will hear the murmuring. Though I entered into literary world in 2017 but in this short period of time, I have achieved a handful of success writing more than 400 poems and publishing four poetry books. The books are Kuni Kabita Dia Barata (Odia), Sisirabindu (Odia), A book of Rhyming poems and moral stories (English), A book of Stunning poems (English) . This is the fifth poetry book and many of these poems have been published in national and international anthologies, Magazines and E-magazines. In this book I have tried to include views and values of my own to share with each to love life, nature, living beings, earth, air, sky and the God Almighty. So I have tried my best to carry all these messages through my poems and I hope my dear readers will enjoy the poems and understand the world around First of all I pay my heartfelt reverence to my God dwelling in my heart “LORD JAGANNATH” who brought me to this world, to my parents who have made me social and to my teachers who successfully taught me this global literature. In the end, I must say that poetry has offered me a special recognition and I won’t be miser to pay humble regards and thankfulness to my friends, poet friends and valuable readers who inspire to strengthen the nib of my pen. Poetry has brought me a golden opportunity to gather love, affection and dignity.
