Although formally diverse and written over many years, each contains a subtle reference to a flower, tree, or medicinal plant. Prevallet brings these plants to the foreground as a materia medica --a description of medicinal origins and properties which connect each plant to their signature poem. Celebrating the meadow in all its forms, A Varied and Tender Multiplicity is a symbiotic weaving of poems and plants which invites contemplation between the human spirit, the natural world, and the healing capacity of language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eK (Kristin) Prevallet (born 1966) is a contemporary American writer living in Gloucester, MA.
