In this thirteen poem sequence, acclaimed poet Mary Dalton celebrates some of the more over-looked and under-loved plants that bless Newfoundland and Labrador's landscape. Joe Pye Weed, nettles, hops, parsley: seldom are such homely plants so beautifully sung. There's sauce and sparkle to these poems, rooted in Dalton's love of plants and her fascination with the folk lore and local use that has grown up around them.
