Bosk is a meditative collection of brief, luminous poems that explore the quiet, complex lives of woody plants. With a botanist’s eye and a poet’s heart, these verses examine how c lose observation—often at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston—both distorts and deepens our understanding of the nonhuman world. Each poem is framed by the initials of the plant’s Latin name, inviting the reader into a layered experience where language, thought, and organic form intertwine. Written during walks and still moments—sometimes while the author’s children, Piero and Giacomo, napped nearby—Bosk reveals the strange and beautiful intimacy that can arise when we look closely at what we usually pass by.
