Their fragmentary afterlife goes on/in a guitar's body and a hockey stick, in the beaked faces/up a totem pole and the stake through a vampire's heart,/in a fragrant cheese-board, a Welsh love-spoon,/a sweat-stained axe handle, a giant green dragonfly suspended from the ceiling with twine,/in the spellbinding shapechanging/behind a glass woodstove-door.Hugh MacLennan poetry series.NaturePoetryNature811/.54Bartlett Brian1953-1480715MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782707503321The afterlife of trees3697442UNINA
