Synopsis "The Poem Forest: Poet w. S. Merwin and the Palm Tree Forest he Grew From Scratch (in English)"
Vibrant art and a poetic narration tell the tale of a US Poet Laureate who spent forty years planting the world's most comprehensive palm tree forest--and then gave it all away. All his life, William Stanley searched for a wild place of his own. Growing up in the straightened-out city blocks of his childhood and finding some respite in summer trips to a cabin in the woods, William Stanley yearned for space, fragrant soil, tall trees, and the silence that surrounds them. In Hawaii, he learned of acres of land depleted from toxic agricultural practices, and he became determined to restore that land and create one of the most comprehensive palm gardens in the world. With hope and lyricism, award-winning poet Carrie Fountain and artist Chris Turnham tell the enchanting story of famed US Poet Laureate and ecologist W. S. Merwin, who planted nearly three thousand palm trees on his property in Hawaii, leaving as his legacy a wild space for everyone. Budding ecologists--and budding poets--will discover more about W. S. Merwin's life in an author's note in the back matter.
