Description
by Kristine Corey (Designed by), Ellen Robinette (Illustrator), Rich Perin (Photographer)
Sure, all flowers have given names, but that's only a petal in the crown of what they have to offer, to enchant us with. Odd Guide to the Flowers of Portland recognizes this and instead presents a strange and expansive compendium of our floral friends and their many quirks and colors. Organized into categories such as Variance, Parable, and Fantastic, this pocket-sized book explains the plants through odes, portraiture, montage, instructions, neologism, and field entries of all sorts. Odd Guide goes beyond mere classification to imagine what the stamens might be saying, what dreams their perfumes might induce, what potions could be made with their juices, sepals. Discover the plants' personalities through poetic and artistic descriptions, characterizations that are at turns, humorous, romantic, imaginative, and absurd. For open-minded botanists and laypeople alike, Odd Guide is sure to give you a new and surprising appreciation for the inflorescence at your ankles; to make you want to crouch down and notice, relate to, converse with, and bloom accordingly.
All field entries written, illustrated, and/or photographed by members of Buckman Publishing's team: Edy Guy, Ellen Robinette, Emmi Greer, Rich Perin, and Kristine Corey.
