Sylvia Victor Linsteadt è un'autrice il cui lavoro si addentra profondamente nel mito, nell'ecologia e nel femminismo. Attraverso la sua narrativa e saggistica, si sforza di espandere le nostre narrazioni umane per includere le voci della terra vivente. Il suo approccio letterario fonde prospettive artistiche ed ecologiche, attingendo spesso all'ispirazione del bioregionalismo. Linsteadt arricchisce così la nostra comprensione dell'intricata relazione tra umanità e mondo naturale.
Up in the glacial peaks, among a strange, mountainous people, a Juniper Tree takes Poppy deep into her roots and shows him the true stories of the people who made his world, people he thought were only myths. It is through this feral but redemptive folklore that Poppy begins to understand the story of his own past and his place in the present.
