Another Tree Dance is a poet's essay, an essay for a room, for the mouth, the hand, the ear, a philosophy housed not in concepts but in sentences, storyboards, gestures, slides, songs, visible and invisible things. With additional essays on performance. Created as the oblique cousin to her dissertation on Emerson, Karinne Keithley Syers’s Another Tree Dance mines the images of her personal and creative history, coaxing from private recursions the abyssal dives and uncertain floats of thinking through a life that swims and glitters. “The following is what I experienced. ...A sensation of expectant awareness, excited stillness, and a pervasive, overwhelmingly unnameable foreboding which resulted not in fear but in acceptance.” - Eric Conroe “it utterly bewitched me” – Elizabeth Zimmer
