Publisher's Description

Enter a forest of poems about patience, grace, and wonder. About discovering the code of abiding life already within us. When We Become Trees cultivates the tension of becoming: rooting down while reaching up and trying to see heaven on earth—trying to find the divine even among the rocks around us. These one hundred poems speak with motifs of soil, sky, and time. They ask, they offer: “Make my life this: a ready harvest given, taken, tasted.” This is a book for those who, like trees, are willing to grow “ring-slow but steady.”
