\n Vibrant art and a poetic narration tell the tale of a US Poet Laureate who spent forty years planting the world\u2019s most comprehensive palm tree forest\u2014and then gave it all away.<\/p>\n

All his life, William Stanley searched for a wild place of his own. Growing up in the straightened-out city blocks of his childhood and finding some respite in summer trips to a cabin in the woods, William Stanley yearned for space, fragrant soil, tall trees, and the silence that surrounds them. In Hawaii, he learned of acres of land depleted from toxic agricultural practices, and he became determined to restore that land and create one of the most comprehensive palm gardens in the world. With hope and lyricism, award-winning poet Carrie Fountain and artist Chris Turnham tell the enchanting story of famed US Poet Laureate and ecologist W. S. Merwin, who planted nearly three thousand palm trees on his property in Hawaii, leaving as his legacy a wild space for everyone. Budding ecologists\u2014and budding poets\u2014will discover more about W. S. Merwin\u2019s life in an author\u2019s note in the back matter. <\/p>\n
