Leaf is an extraordinary achievement of ecopoetic art. These poems, clustered into 5 sections, are in startling and intimate dialogue with things that grow, challenging the very fundamentals of perception and of language itself.  Elvey’s delicate and innovative work embodies what it might actually mean to deconstruct the opposition between culture and nature, to hear both the voice of the human poet and the breathing, rustling world of bark and leaf, root and flower.
