Learn about the author and the book

This poetry chapbook is a vivid, intimate collection of poems that invites us to see ourselves within the world around us. Each poem is named after a tree — most of them native to the Southeastern US — forming a rich landscape where roots, rings, and branches become a way of understanding human connection, transformation, and renewal.

Offering a captivating preview of Ashley’s forthcoming full-length collection, Habitats, this chapbook reveals a green world that is as much a mirror to ourselves as it is a thriving ecosystem.

Garrett Ashley’s work has appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction, The Normal School, Sonora Review, Analog SF&F, DIAGRAM, Reed Magazine, and Sequestrum. He earned his PhD from the University of Southern Mississippi's Center for Writers and teaches creative writing at Tuskegee University in Alabama. He is also the author of Peraphylla, and Other Deep Ocean Attractions (Press 53, 2024), and his next collection, Habitats, is forthcoming from Loblolly Press in April 2026.
