Description
Emily Dickinson loved writing about nature and wrote many poems about flowers, three of which are celebrated in the song cycle “To Meet A Flower”. Flowers of various descriptions and personalities are included in this collection, one of two song cycles in which I’ve set her flower poems to music.
