Talking With Trees Poetry Collection is about how nature speaks to the imagination. It’s the story of a magical journey into the garden and the extraordinary adventure of ordinary things.
This is an inspiring invitation to venture and explore. The words are composed so that they move in a perpetual dance with stillness, rhythm, breath, and song. In the Talking With Trees Poetry Collection, Illuminating poems and enchanting photographs weave a tale that bridges the human and plant worlds.

“There’s so much beauty, depth and thought here. It’s a philosophy of life! I started highlighting different lines that spoke to me and then went back and read from the beginning and by the end, almost everything was highlighted.”
–Kimmen Sjölander, scientist, professor, writer, poet
Fran Spector Atkins
“These poems are powerful! They’re spiritual and provocative in the way they connect to nature. Lucia’s voice, spiritual essence and wisdom come through the words and images. Her poems are rich with meaning and exist on many levels simultaneously.”
