Tree Full of Stars: Collected Poems

by Anne Meek, Lisa Roney (Editor), Kelly Roney (Editor)

Overview

In a voice both profound and good-humored, Anne Meek's poems take us on a journey through one woman's deeply felt life, but also through social changes across the past decades. Many will relate to her experiences of family joys and sorrows, but also to sharp observations about friendship, writing, injustice, the beauty of nature, and the complex lives of her fellow human beings.
