Publisher's Synopsis
"The phrase "Wolf Trees" is of unknown origin and can mean different things in different regions of the US-as this collection's title sequence explores-but generally it refers to a tree standing alone in a field, or a much older tree surrounded by younger forest, in either case, a remnant of a former ecology. In this collection, Hartsock explores the trials of living with Type 1 diabetes, and hopes her experience with diabetes resonates with the visual and symbolic presence of wolf trees. This is a mixed-style collection, containing formal poetry and free verse, as well as prose poems, especially in some sections of the title sequence"--.
