If there is anywhere on earth where metaphor flourishes and parables abound, it is in the garden. For Pochocki the garden is a parallel world, a stage upon which the drama of life is played out. Here we dig for ethical solutions; we try to do no harm, accept defeat with grace and triumph with modesty - and, always, as Emily Dickinson puts it, we "dwell in possibility." Pochocki presents us with a warmly human, charmingly wise collection of essays, stories and poems. Beautifully illustrated by Peter LaGue.
