But how do you put back together a tree thats been felled? Mystical instructions are required, and thats what W. S. Merwin provides in his prose piece Unchopping a Tree, appearing for the first time in a self-contained volume. Written with a poets grace, an ecologists insights, and a Buddhists reverence for life, this elegant work describes the difficult, sacred job of reconstructing a tree. Step by step, page by page, with Merwins humble authority, secrets are revealed, and the destroyed tree rises from the forest floor. Unchopping a Tree opens with simplicity and grace: Start with the leaves, the small twigs, and the nest that have been shaken, ripped, or broken off by the fall; these must be gathered and attached once again to their respective places. W. S. Merwin, like many conservationists, is quick to say: When we destroy the so-called natural world around us were simply destroying ourselves. And I think its irreversible. Thus the tree takes on a scale that begs the readers compassion, and one tree is a parable for the restoration of all nature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52226729967904,"sku":"NEW1595343075","price":12.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51X9L8QytOL.jpg?v=1787321783","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/unchopping-a-tree-an-intimate-beautifully-illustrated-gift-edition-of-poet-laureate-w-s-merwins-wondrous-story-about-how-to-resurrect-a-fallen-tree-1595343075","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
