Among the Trees is a chapbook of poems and photographs focusing primarily on the Southeastern region of Oklahoma. The poems and pictures highlight the region’s natural beauty, history, and culture, providing readers a chance to experience the area through the eyes of lifelong resident, Cullen Whisenhunt, who turns his observations into a contemplation on the intersection of identity and place.
But when the lowest boughs
are penetrated, they reveal
not a single tree, but a copse
of cedars grown so close,
so intimate,
their branches strip each other vulnerable
–from the title poem
