A work of art is good, when it is born of necessity. - Rainer Maria Rilke.

Born out of such necessity, Flowers and Folk Songs explores nature at its most beautiful, as well as at its most punishing. Moving from hymns, entomology experiments, and gallows humour, this collection draws on everything from Indian devotional traditions to classic western literature to ponder Life's biggest questions.

A fatal crash becomes an act of giving. A bus trip through modern England turns into a folk ballad. Throughout this concise compilation, form lends itself to function: sonnets, villanelles, and free verse pieces carry forth what plain speech cannot.

For readers of formalist and confessional poetry alike, this is a book about the urge to create and the will to go on in the face of an ambivalent universe.
