Available as a chapbook or in hardcover (as a pamphlet binding), the Upward Tree is a collection of poetry about rape and murder and the devastation left behind. These poems carry the weight of trauma in its many forms—generational,
intimate, and witnessed—capturing moments of unbearable violence and fleeting tenderness. Through elegiac language and stark imagery,
Woods speaks of unbearable loss and love, revealing how the songs we sing to the dead, made in the darkness of what should have broken us, sometimes become lullabies for the living.Chapbook $15, Pamphlet Binding $22
