A wonderful collection of poems about trees and woods that I return to regularly! (I can't put a "date finished" as any poetry book that I have is never closed for long). The Saraband hardback edition is covered by a beautiful design by Carry Akroyd. It is a book I treasure. It triggered my wish to make a set of Ogham sticks (20) which I continue to do; only half a dozen to go before the set is complete! 😊
