These poems look to the natural life cycle as a corollary of loss and renewal, both in response to illness and death of family and friends and to the collective sense of grief in the wake of the recent pandemic. Often overlooked details of daily life and nature lead to deep insight. Mortality, seen in \"Tree Fall\" with the loss of steadfast and familiar trees, is complemented by the creative force of \"Birdsong.\" The poems range in form and length from narrative free verse to a sequence of haiku, a pantoum, a ghazal, and a creation story. They include ekphrastic poems, retell myths of the underworld, and connect to the lore of wildflowers, snakes, birds, and trees. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernwood Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594981609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.27d","brand":"Kendall Dunkelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45370014531765,"sku":"9781594981609","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_dfdc8456-27d1-4c64-a632-6b814c845916.jpg?v=1747109219","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/tree-fall-with-birdsong-9781594981609","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
