A poet known for her fierce confessional style focuses on her passion for the natural world in this startling collection of vignettes influenced by California's giant redwood trees. These lyrical, resonant, strange, and imaginative poems echo in the mind and leave an indelible impression of the mysterious atmosphere of the redwood forests. Additional poems, inspired by the colorful paintings of German expressionist Franz Marc, blend and contrast dramatic imagery of red and blue horses with the tragic fate of Europe during World War I. Woven throughout are sensitive translations of original Chinese works and odes to the beauty of the Himalayas, influenced by the author's travel experiences in China and Nepal.
