Description
With their eyes on the shifting seasons and changing landscapes, 20 poets strike up conversations with the trees of the Ogham tree calendar/alphabet. Sometimes sidelong, sometimes direct, these poems explore our relationship with nature - points of contact, points of collision, points of doubt. These poems find answers to their questions, each encounter with another being in the landscape bringing out surprise, or solace, reflection, or epiphany.
