Publisher Marketing: Touch Wood is a lyric field guide to trees. Each poem is dappled sun and moon, lighting a path toward a deeper understanding of trees and our kinship with them. The short life and tragic death of David Douglas, early North American botanist, threads through the collection. Touch Wood’s poems are elegies, narratives, and meditations on our tangled histories. Touch wood, learn the roots and truths of the trees of the Pacific Northwest.
