"Constellations bloom
in orchards of April skies.
The stars blossomise."

I've discovered Simon Armitage recently but I can't get enough of his poetry and plays. This latest project perfectly embodies spring and hope.

"Blossom: a CV" and "The Seasons" were my favourite. The haiku in between poems and artworks gave a lovely rhythm to the entire book.

"Blossom was a dictionary.
Knew how to spell resurrection 
And the true meaning
Of revelation."
