The Trees, The Trees

Overview: Heather Christle's second collection, The Trees The Trees, is ecstatic, breathless, full of incandescent humor and wonder, full of miniature moment s hums, pocked with graceful elisions and gasps; there is spell bound play and intense intimacy in each gap toothed, center-justified prose poem. Read and love her seemingly spontaneous utterances spun from her rapt attention to daily life, nature, solitude, romance, to her own reeling and enchanting imagination. --Cathy Park Hong
