A Field Guide to North American Trees

This poetry chapbook is a vivid, intimate collection of poems that invites us to see ourselves within the world around us. Each poem is named after a tree — most of them native to the Southeastern US — forming a rich landscape where roots, rings, and branches become a way of understanding human connection, transformation, and renewal.

Offering a captivating preview of Ashley’s forthcoming full-length collection, Habitats, this chapbook reveals a green world that is as much a mirror to ourselves as it is a thriving ecosystem.
