This One Tree

Katie Peterson

"By looking at the world on behalf of the world, [This One Tree] offers its poetry up as a self-portrait of the world. And with what new powers of description, powers that balance all the warring senses of this currently discredited activity of poetry by committing to the genius of place, of the scribe, and of 'scribble, ' or language itself. And with what visual command sponsored by what insistent powers of hearing, the senses at their beginning again as they, too, always were and always will be."
--William Olsen, from the foreword

Praise for this book

"Katie Peterson's work locates you in a more subtle way, as if you are reaching, like Mr. Ramsay in To the Lighthouse, "stumbling along a passage one dark morning," stretching your arms out for someone. They relocate you, with a line, a word, as fast as your whole situation might change with one word, look, gesture."--Rebecca Keith "The Millions" (4/28/2009 12:00:00 AM)
