Trees express the life of the Earth in all its variety, fruitfulness, and mystery, from ancient beginnings to our present time. These fifty-six poems reflect the author's lifelong love of trees. They include verses of celebration, remembrance and reflection, first-hand observation and experience, as well as historical research and familiar folk traditions and mythology.

A Treasury of Trees is a rich and imaginative exploration of our relationship to the Earth and all we stand to gain by entering its life more deeply.
