Ten Tall Trees

Inspired by his closest relationships, nature, and spirit, author Kevin Patrick wrote all of the poems in this collection in the beautiful and natural surroundings from Hope to Vancouver and throughout the picturesque Southern Gulf Islands.

In Ten Tall Trees, Patrick offers a free-verse lyrical narrative that tells a story of lucid spiritual exploration and awakening of consciousness witnessed by the beauty of the changing seasons. In the title poem, Ten Tall Trees, he observes natures quiet resilience during the cold winter months. The selection Season of Birthing celebrates the uplifting energy of new life in springtime. Poems such as Minuet, Minoru Park, and Mooji address autumn and Patricks burgeoning spiritual awareness together with his observations of modern pop culture.

With a strong voice, perceptive observations, language play, and an affinity for the natural world, Patrick offers a poetry collection that gives insight into the balance of spirit with the human condition and the beauty of form merged with formlessness.
