Sylvia Legris maps the garden as both body and landscape, combining botanical and anatomical language in poems of compressed, exuberant invention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrawing on everything from the correspondence of garden designers Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson to the paintings of Agnes Martin and the medicinal writings of the ancient Greek pharmacologist Pedanius Dioscorides, Legris creates a richly layered poetic world.
