Pulsing \/ balloon vine. Love in a puff.” As if composed out of a botanical glossolalia of her own invention, Legris’s poems map the garden as body and the body as garden―her words at home in the phytological and anatomical―like birds in a nest. From an imagined love-letter exchange on plants between garden designer Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson to a painting by Agnes Martin to the medicinal discourse of the first-century Greek pharmacologist Pedanius Dioscorides, Garden Physic engages with the anaphrodisiacs of language with a compressed vitality reminiscent of Louis Zukofsky’s “80 Flowers.” In muskeg and yard, her study of nature bursts forth with rainworm, whorl of horsetail, and fern radiation―spring beauty in the lines, a healing potion in verse.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"thebibliophilecandleco","offers":[{"title":"Used Paperback","offer_id":49695935758563,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/0018\/4803\/files\/56760364.jpg?v=1788714747","url":"https:\/\/thebibliophilecandleco.com\/en-ca\/products\/garden-physic-by-sylvia-legris","provider":"thebibliophilecandleco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
