What Trees Read
Nothing but the wind,
the shifting track of sun,
the smell of autumn smoke,
the soft brush of pollen,
and rain and soil and warmth
and the weight of nests,
the grip of sparrow feet,
the slow circling
of the years.

Mary Soon Lee was born and raised in London, but has lived in Pittsburgh for thirty years. She is a Grand Master of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association, and three-time winner of both the AnLab Readers' Award and the Rhysling Award. Her latest poetry book, "How to Navigate Our Universe," answers vexing questions such as "How to Surprise Saturn" and "How to Survive a Black Hole." She hides her online presence with a cryptically named website (marysoonlee.com and an equally cryptic Twitter account (@MarySoonLee).
