"Constellations bloom
in orchards of April skies.
The stars blossomise."
I've discovered Simon Armitage recently but I can't get enough of his poetry and plays. This latest project perfectly embodies spring and hope.
"Blossom: a CV" and "The Seasons" were my favourite. The haiku in between poems and artworks gave a lovely rhythm to the entire book.
"Blossom was a dictionary.
Knew how to spell resurrection
And the true meaning
Of revelation."

Armitage captures the fleeting joy of spring blossom and adds a melancholy undertone. The book is a thing of beauty in itself with Angela Harding's illustrations.
