Overview
This global poetry collection gives every nation from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe a poetic hue. Topography, plants and animals, language and history, love, and regret and hope combine in the luminous poetic spectrum of a world. Here 196 nations speak, their voices distinct, complementary, converging. Latitude and longitude are lines of poems, climate a thought; commerce deals in sense and the six senses. Celebrating difference, in the common language of English, these poems gather the voices of three millennia.Author Biography
