What might we gain if we admit we do not control thewind, and cannot possibly carry all weve been handed? Offering a stark moral critiqueof pandemic self-preservationas justifications grew / with greed like vines /up the side of a tree / taking everythingWind, Trees joins the ranksof politically urgent yet timeless collections like The Lice by W.S.Merwin.
