An oak writes to an acorn. Big things speak to little things. Little things answer back.
Dear Acorn (Love, Oak) is a collection of poems told as letters between parts of the natural world. Each exchange gives two sides of a relationship, showing how different creatures and objects in an ecosystem may see things in their own way while still being connected.
For readers who enjoy gentle nature books, these poems offer a thoughtful way to notice size, perspective, growth, and belonging. Joyce Sidman’s letter-poems make the outdoors feel personal and alive, inviting you to wonder what trees, seeds, and other pieces of nature might say if they could send messages to one another.
