A collected series of intertwined poetic essays written by
acclaimed Japanese poet Hiromi Ito—part nature writing, part
travelogue, part existential philosophy. Written between
April 2012 and November 2013, Tree Spirits Grass Spirits adopts a
non-linear narrative flow that mimics the growth of plants, and can
be read as a companion piece to Ito’s beloved poem "Wild Grass on
the Riverbank". Rather than the vertiginously violent poetics of
the latter, Tree Spirits Grass Spirits serves as what we might call
a phyto-autobiography: a recounting of one’s life through the
logic of flora. Ito’s graciously potent and philosophical prose
examines immigration, language, gender, care work, and death, all
through her close (indeed, at times obsessive) attention to plant
life.
