The Tree that Time Built

illustrated by Barbara Fortin

Published in the double-anniversary year of Darwin’s birth in 1809 and the publication of The Origin of Species in 1859, this book will appeal to readers of all ages.

Packed with poems and comments that reveal the many parallels between poetry and science, this rich anthology will become an important resource for teachers and students as well as a treasured collection for all lovers of poetry. The title refers to Charles Darwin’s famous Tree of Life, his first sketch of an evolutionary tree describing the relationships among groups of organisms.
