The book features fifty objects, each accompanied by a poem, illustrating the evolution of poetic expression over centuries. Ranging from everyday items to historical artifacts, each object serves as a gateway to the themes and styles of various poets, from classic to contemporary. The collection not only showcases the beauty and diversity of poetry but also invites readers to contemplate the connections between the physical world and the art of verse.
