The Meaning of Wood
Masthead
Thema: Just Wood
Douglas Jones pays tribute the themes, strengths, and ferocities of trees.
"
He was baking wood. It wasn't tame after 115 hours of heat,
close but still fighting, still gripping water in its veins, mocking. Before
I arrived, Jim said that I couldn't miss them—"big silver boxes." As I
got out of my truck, I scanned this place where they tame trees. A
cedar building like a circus tent caught my eye; it gave a quirk to the
boxy mint-green buildings that otherwise dominated. No faces or voices,
but plenty of busy."

The Wooden Gate - Douglas Wilson
"He hastened back to the shed and gathered up the tools
and some wood he found inside. He set to work with a will, but
was surprised at how long the work took him. He worked the remainder
of that day, through the next two days, and on the third day, late in
the day, he stood back, deeply satisfied."

The Lever - Douglas Jones
"He roars but can't be heard. He runs

across, across, across, he sprints
on finger legs."
