Arboreal Dreams Speculative Tree Poems Anthology

A project of Speculative Poetry (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (March 2023). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

There are an estimated 3.04 trillion trees, 422 for every person on earth. We know now that trees communicate and protect each other. They make, prefer, and form communities. We don’t see what they see or know what they know. The seemingly dead stump may still be nourished and cherished by his living surround — in grief? in memory? Most trees outlive us, unless we kill them. Send your tree-centered and tree-themed speculative verse from sf/f to horror, myth to magic, hope punk to paranormal.
