“The Risen Tree” is Bernadette Gallagher's debut poetry collection. It is thought-provoking contemplative poetry that touches upon themes of nature, growth, and human connection. The poems are inspired by and reference psalm verses from the Bible, giving them a devotional style. The language is simple yet evocative giving them an intimate, conversational voice. Gallagher has a strong observant eye for small details of nature, which she uses to reflect on humanity.
