Guided by the belief that all things possess a spirit, the collection moves through a garden of camellias, zinnias, primroses, poppies, and forget-me-nots, where blossoms become companions to daughters, lovers, mothers, friends, and ghosts. Through lush imagery and inventive lyricism, Wei explores the hidden lives \nof emotions — how love persists in ordinary objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eBlending floriography with contemporary coming-of-age narratives, \u003cem\u003eAnimism\u003c\/em\u003e examines family, migration, queer desire, friendship, and inheritance through a world alive with agency. Flowers listen; landscapes remember; even language itself becomes animate. Tender, intimate and mythic, these poems invite readers into a universe where the boundaries between human and nonhuman dissolve, revealing the spiritual threads that connect all living things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003ePenny Wei is from Shanghai and Massachusetts.
