The collection of poems is a moving invitation to open one's attention by looking up, down, and always within. Through lyric walking poems ("tree walks" and "shade walks") and Bashō-style travelogue, Shade is a place unfolds as much through arboreal life as through one's inner life--sometimes alone, sometimes with others, and always among turning trees.
