Beautifully produced volume which by relating the life cycle of an oak tree throws light on the human condition and inevitable ending. Sensitive and surprising language control in these acorns of poems serving as delights of separate entities but also an entire tale of a lifespan. especially strong on visual images the language is evocative and sensual making this story resonant with intellectual and emotional truths.Great poetry of its time.

As a tree-lover, I devoured this collection of cleverly-written poems, tracing the life of a tree from acorn to oak. Will definitely be reading it again.

Beautiful book, perfect for 80th birthday gift
