There is a new tumblr called Poets Touching Trees. Frankly, I am disturbed to discover that all of the trees being “touched” are male. While Bernadette Mayer and I enjoy seeing male trees objectified, we all know that female trees are way underrepresented in the production of paper for major print publications. Here’s hoping the creators of this tumblr can “turn it around”.

      You might be less “disturbed” if you were a male tree.

      Or, if you were a tree, you might be “disturbed” to be touched by a poet.

      Who is a human to speak for trees??  Down with anthropocentrism!

      –and down with humans speaking against humans speaking for trees! Down wi– oh.  Damn it…
