Tree, Moss, Fungus, and Fern" is a poignant homage to the Inland Northwest. Through his quiet and companiable poetry, Dan Morris captures the serene beauty of pausing to appreciate the awe-inspiring regions that fuel his creativity. His observations invite readers to reflect on life's often-overlooked moments, finding profound meaning in the quiet simplicity of nature.
Morris juxtaposes urban decay with the enduring splendor of the natural world, prompting readers to ponder the impermanence of human ambition against the timeless resilience of nature. This collection invites contemplation on the human experience, exploring the beauty and loss that come with aging, and the futility of attempting to recapture what once was. Morris's work reminds us that in an age of acceleration, the most revolutionary act might be simply stopping to observe what persists, what returns, and what quietly thrives in the margins of our attention.
