Green the Witch-Hazel Wood is the debut poetry collection of American poet Emily Hiestand, published by Graywolf Press in 1989 as part of the National Poetry Series.
Selected for the series by poet Jorie Graham, Hiestand's poems move between the natural world, science, language, memory, mythology, and the strange correspondences of everyday life. The collection has been noted for its fascination with the connections between the human imagination and the natural world.
The title itself evokes the old-world associations surrounding the witch-hazel tree, while Hiestand's poetry continually looks for the extraordinary within ordinary things.
This is a first printing of the 1989 Graywolf Press edition, ISBN 1-55597-120-2. The book contains 128 pages and features the original illustrated wrappers.
A particularly nice example of late-20th-century American literary culture where nature writing, philosophy, science, and poetry begin to overlap.
Condition: Very good overall; please see photographs for exact condition.
