Gardens
An Essay on the Human Condition
by Robert Pogue Harrison
Moving from the gardens of ancient philosophers to the gardens of homeless people in contemporary New York, Harrison shows how, again and again, the garden has served as a check against the destruction and losses of history. His new book is a thoughtful, wide-ranging exploration of the many ways gardens evoke the human condition.
“Harrison writes with eloquence, grace, and erudition.” –W.S. Merwin
