Herbarium

rue

Herbarium is an anthology of poems and songs written by 55 poets celebrating and exploring the contemporary resonances of medicinal plants and herbs for the Urban Physic Garden.

Herbarium has now sold out, but you can read the poems online or watch videos of the poets who read at the launch night on the 22 July 2011. Thanks to Steve Fowler for filming and to Wayward Plants for all their support.

This anthology is the first in the Capsule Editions series. The design was by Lina Hakim and the embossed covers were made by the Henningham Family Press.
