Bats can hear shapes.
Plants can eat light.
Bees can dance maps.
We can hold all these ideas at once
and feel both heavy and weightless
with the absurd beauty of it all.
This three-book poetry collection is comprised of Field Guide to the Haunted Forest (2020), Love Notes from the Hollow Tree (2022), and Leaf Litter (2023), collectively known as The Haunted Forest Trilogy.
