As the anthology progresses, it delves into the intricate histories that trees carry within their rings. Poems become time capsules, revealing the stories of ancient oaks, resilient redwoods, and the quiet witness that a tree stands as to the passage of time. The verses explore the legacy of trees, intertwining their growth with the annals of human history, cultural evolution, and the ebb and flow of civilizations. The poets skillfully navigate the scientific and ecological dimensions of trees, weaving in details about their ecological roles, seasonal transformations, and the delicate dance between flora and fauna in the shadow of their branches. Through these poems, readers gain not only a poetic understanding of trees but also an ecological education, enriching the experience with layers of knowledge. Cultural and symbolic significance are recurring themes throughout the anthology. The poets explore the diverse ways in which trees have been woven into the fabric of human culture, mythology, and spiritual beliefs. Trees become symbols of resilience, wisdom, and the cyclical nature of life. The verses become a cultural tapestry that transcends geographical boundaries, celebrating the universal symbolism that trees hold in various societies.

The all encompassing theme in this debut collection is how a person holds the tension of opposites— darkness to light, from loss to reconciliation and redemption. In the middle of life with both feet on the ground, the poet wrestles with the realization that the ground is never stable and that life changes in a split second. The reader is led through two worlds, the geographic one—from Egypt to Malaysia from India to Cape Cod, and the inner one—entered by celebratory, riveting and dangerous poems as they move through sex, love, birth, and death.

Audisee® eBooks with Audio combine professional narration and sentence highlighting for an engaging read aloud experience! "Father, is all of the world a refugee camp?" Young Kalia has never known life beyond the fences of the Ban Vinai Refugee Camp. The Thai camp holds many thousands of Hmong families who fled in the aftermath of the little-known Secret War in Laos that was waged during America's Vietnam War. For Kalia and her cousins, life isn't always easy, but they still find ways to play, racing with chickens and riding a beloved pet dog. Just four years old, Kalia is still figuring out her place in the world. When she asks what is beyond the fence, at first her father has no answers for her. But on the following day, he leads her to the tallest tree in the camp and, secure in her father's arms, Kalia sees the spread of a world beyond. Kao Kalia Yang's sensitive prose and Rachel Wada's evocative illustrations bring to life this tender true story of the love between a father and a daughter.
