The Walking Forest

1. Read the table of contents first and mark pieces related to the imagery of "forest" and "walking" to form an initial reading route.
2. Read three to five poems at a time; after finishing, close the book and recall the most striking line—no need to finish in one go.
3. Slow down on plain-language pieces and notice how the poet shifts perspective within everyday scenes.
4. If you know the poetic taste of Stars, read comparatively to sense the influence of the editor's identity on the writing.
