What I Learned from the Trees delves into the intricate relationship between humans and nature, and how these often overlooked, everyday interactions affect us as individuals, families, and communities. With a backbone rooted in primordial imagery and allegory, and a focus on how the growing disconnect with our own wants, needs, and fears creates deeper divides in our relationships, this collection is notably relevant to today's society and the struggles we face with the ever-expanding detachment between humans and the natural world. Aren't all living creatures seeking a notable existence? A deep sense of belonging? Of relevance? Of purpose? Of love? How often do we yearn for these wants, yet fight the vulnerability it takes to reach them? Why do we so clearly seek each other, yet refuse to reach out our hands?

L.E.Bowman’s zweiter Gedichtband „What I learned from the Trees“ befasst sich mit der komplexen Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Natur und wie diese Verbindung und die Auswirkungen auf unsere zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen oft unterschätzt wird. Bowman schreibt direkt, mutig und spricht mit roher Ehrlichkeit über ihre persönlichen Probleme mit Beziehungen, Selbstakzeptanz und Selbstliebe. Ihre Werke zielen darauf ab, andere zu ermutigen, aus ihren eigenen Schwierigkeiten und Zweifeln zu lernen und sie zu überwinden sowie einen Ort der Reflexion, Ermächtigung und Akzeptanz zu finden. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ „It‘s the detachement that does it, that turns us into a lone tree in a forest struggling for light. Just one of many - a part of something and somehow still lonely. Close enough to touch each other but too afraid to reach.“ „We sit around and swap stories of pain. Someone new has cancer, and a good friend of so-and-so died just last week. There‘s always cheating, or a divorce, or a bankruptcy, and it‘s never about the sharing, or the connecting, or the helping each other. It‘s all a competition - seeing who is the most weighed down and still standing.“ „I was always going to be okay after you. Just as storms don‘t quiet the song of the birds, and death doesn‘t stop the spinning of the earth. Just as cities keep moving, waves keep crashing, and disasters can‘t weaken the resilience of this world; I was always going to be okay after you.“

The book contains a few good quotes and is well written. The author knows how to use certain words to make the poem special. Though -i did not find them that much. I did not connect with them and I kept searching for a connection to the title. In the beginning there were poems I easily could connect to the nature and in the end there is the poem that gives the book its name but that was it. I did not see it in the middle part... It is a nice book for if you need some inspirational quotes or if you like the Instagram poetry you might find in a caption because you find a lot of that in the book. It just missed the mark with me. **Thanks to the publisher for sending me a free copy
