In Small Parental Forest, Chad Norman reaffirms our humanity and vital interconnectedness by immersing himself in the natural world. Norman has the rare ability to write poems that are politically engaging as well as poems that are so delicate that the reader, coming upon them unexpectedly, catches his breath:

I sneak outside

during the virus invasion

to privately witness ...

a wee purple crocus

poking out of

our morning's snowfall

With poems such as "The Beauty of the Thistle," and "The ID Cove 20," this collection is bound to impress.
