Sirpa Walton

In her debut poetry chapbook Talk to the Trees Sirpa Walton explores the sacred bond between trees and human beings, with the forest and its steadfast inhabitants acting as guides toward love, truth and the healing homes within us.  "We, the 'tailles primates' tend not to heed our inner voices, the truths they carry, but in this collection I have imagined how these godlike beings, the trees among us, could lead us to our inner homes, our true loves within us and perhaps even to romantic love." Sirpa Walton  Reader comments on Talk to the Trees: "It has a beautiful message, an appealing atmosphere, lyrical flow, and there's an arc of storytelling happening too, with the 'she' finding lessons from the trees and then putting them into practice for finding a love of their own." "The collection builds up like a tree of poems, with vivid language that creates a calming feeling, offers reflective moments, and finishes with a profound message."
