Why read it?
1 author picked Seeds of the Pomegranate as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

She ventures into the forest, with its ‘palate of light and dark’. Read these poems for their aching blend of sadness and joy.
From Steve's list on nature poems to make you think and feel.
