The poems in this beautiful anthology consider trees in various seasons, landscapes and time periods. These poems recognize our spiritual, psychological, and physical need for trees. With climate change looming as a crisis that affects the entire planet, this collection of stirring poems by some of the best poets writing in America today is an essential read.
Tree Lines, a newly published anthology into which I'm currently dipping with great pleasure, trying to savor each poem without gulping, is a theme-based anthology (all poems about or featuring trees) whose contents are subdivided into thematic sections: "Where You are Planted"; "One Tree"; "Calendar"; and "Writing and telling."...Tree Lines lets me hear a swelling chorus of voices at the same time as it allows close attention to single poems...Jennifer Barber, Jessica Greenbaum, and Fred Marchant have done a beautiful job with Tree Lines.
