Marianne Moore said that the poet's job was to depict “imaginary gardens with real toads in them”. In truth, gardens are always imaginary because they are always the garden that you are aiming for rather than the garden you have, but the toads are real and immediate.' So says Germaine Greer in her introduction to this wonderful anthology, which contains poems from classical antiquity to the twenty-first century, including Marvell's 'The Garden', Frost's 'After Apple-picking', Tennyson's anti-botanical 'Amphion', Fleur Adcock's 'Emblem' – and many more.
