Description

In a unique melding of science and poetry, a collection of haiku extols the wonder of treesand explores the vital roles they play on our living planet.

perched on a branch,
the crows nest amid green sails
a place for daydreams

From the giant tree ferns of the forests primeval to the hardy sycamores of todays urban forests, experience the essence of trees through poems that engage with every season and stage of the life cycle, from seed to photosynthesis. A broad exploration of a majestic subject, this collection of haiku touches on such topics as the importance of trees to other living creatures and the communication of trees with one another through a complex network of roots. Paired with Angela Mckays bold, bright, beautifully patterned artwork, Sally M. Walkers third collection, a companion to Earth Verse and Out of This World, encourages respect and care for our arboreal neighbors. Back matter includes a time line, an authors note, a glossary, and a select bibliography for curious readers.
