Celtic Nature Poetry in Word and Image by Alexandra van Tuyll

Step into the world of the Celts, where nature was revered as sacred and poetry was woven from the landscape itself.
Celtic Nature Poetry in Word and Image is a heartfelt collection that celebrates the ancient Celtic connection to the natural world. Through carefully selected Irish and Welsh nature poems—once shared orally before the arrival of written tradition—this book reflects a time when trees, seasons, and the wild elements held deep symbolic meaning.

Artist and author Alexandra van Tuyll pairs these poetic fragments with her own evocative imagery, uniting word and image to capture the spirit of Celtic nature reverence.
