We’ve all heard the phrase “eat your greens”, but vegetables come in countless other colours that are every bit as nutritious and delicious as the green ones.
This selection captures the many glories of the vegetable kingdom, finding delight in planting, tending and digging them up, as well as in cooking and eating them. Anyone who has an allotment or vegetable patch (or just a tub by the back door) will know there’s nothing quite like a home-grown potato or tomato.
From skinny beans to curvaceous aubergines, the poems explore the almost-human shapes and textures of vegetables, which appeal to the senses in so many different ways:
“It’s the perfect vegetable,
palette-green, bottle-glass-glossy,
three dimensional, curvy
on top, firm-limbed but friable.”
from ‘Broccoli’ by Siriol Troup
This irresistible anthology creates a vividly earthy world, full of charm and wit.
Poems by Alison Brackenbury, Miriam Darlington, Jen Hadfield, Ted Kooser, Michael Laskey, Thomas Lux, Natasha Rao, Sumana Roy, Siriol Troup and Steve Waling.
