In Orchard Language, Kathy Pon and her husband bear witness to an almond orchard's "vertical revelry, like a prayer surging skyward." Her poems encompass a life of cultivation, harvest and aging trees, the mellowing of a marriage, and concerns about water and stress to the land. Through the language of the orchard and farming, she reveals kinship with both creatures that share this space, and all that grows around her. This collection speaks to a reverence for a natural world that in turn, nurtures the human spirit.
