Perceptive, cultivated and inventive are terms that aptly apply to Zoltán Böszörményi’s The Conscience of Trees. This remarkable volume of poetry is a transport for the reader, a journey across our planet filtered through the sieve of the poet’s imagination: “I speak of this need with which I live / while the wispy sunrise silently / pours a new dream through the sieve.” Complexity and variety course through the erudite arteries of this book.
