In this collection of poetry, power and the heavy hand of a society gone mad with technological overload and informational glut are woven into quiet poetical ruminations captured within the walls of a garden. Each flower and the soil itself is used to explore, uncover, dissect, and evaluate a dimension of the world beyond the garden walls. The politics of academics, the meaningless hustle of the urban scene, and the scurrying of a time-enslaved society are brutally examined under the guise of simple descriptions of flora.

Editorial Reviews
Review
In its deceptive simplicity of language and tone ... Ken Pobo's poetry bears a family resemblance to Oriental nature poetry. -- Charles Rammelkamp
Pobo's poems celebrate the gentle beauty, the awesome power and the ultimate triumph of herbs and flowers over man-made technology. -- Hartmut Lutz Chair, Institut Fur Anglistik/Amerikanistik, University of Greifswald, Germany
as much about flowers as Moby Dick is about whales, Pobo's poems are as gorgeous as Georgia O'Keefe's flower paintings. -- Chiron Review, Robert Cooperman
