Sweetapple Earth - Softcover

In this volume John Heath-Stubbs celebrates his 75 years with a cornucopia of new poems and light and occasional verse. Limericks, including a series on the plots of operas (the Ring Cycle has three, as befits its importance), a versified list of the Poets Laureate, playful reflections on biblical and classical history, are brought together with his distinctive poems about flowers, insects and animals, and birthday tributes to several friends.
