I Talk To Trees: Shadows Beneath The Leaves

by Gary Devenney

In this collection Gary presents, with clarity, the brightness of love and the darkness of loss. These are poems that will stop you in your tracks, will bring a lump to your throat, tears to your eyes. - David Atkison This book you have in your hands, from the opening haiku to the final epilogue where 'grief has sent an army of charges to arrest my words, Devenney casts spells on our minds... Simply put, this is a lived integrity, a properly communicated debut. - Marty McKenna In allowing us the privilege of bearing witness to his own process of love and loss, Gary has created a language for aspects of grief that often go unspoken. Tender, unapologetic and at times heartbreaking, they provide clarity, insight and a path through the dark. - Cathy Carson
