a thousand flowers is a women-led poetry press. We wish to expand the diversity and reach of our books to weave connections between people, create more opportunities for poets, and expand the range and
number of poetry readers around the world.
Immerse yourself in When Flowers Sing: A Poetry Anthology, edited by Irene Isobel. The anthology includes 90 poems from 66 poets around the world, crowdsourced online during a global pandemic. The writers range from award-winning poets to those published for the first time.
In a time when the world is tumultuous and technological advances are rapid, this book is intended to be a tangible source of pleasure and human connection. The 155-page bouquet of poems makes a lovely gift for any occasion, with words for any reader to savor.
May you hear the flowers sing. They wait for us…
“—each page presents something of value; a line worth underlining, a thought worth contemplating.
–Kirkus Reviews
“WHEN FLOWERS SING is a symphonic collection of poems, an opera of the soul.
I felt as if I were falling into its resplendency. I urge everyone to read it. Cast this book out to others to create a new flowering earth.”
–Debra Magpie Earling, author of The Lost Journals of Sacajewea and Perma Red
