"Stone Trees is a tender, meditative book with beautiful art by Fliss Cary to accompany Tracee Findlater's words. It invites us to come along to the seaside with short, succinct poems, interspersed by observations about minerals, colours and sediment, asking us to notice, to contemplate what is around us. There is a captivating clarity to it that makes you pause and absorb the words describing this experience. It conjures up the sounds and smells of sand and water, offering respite and space to breathe. A thing of beauty to come back to again and again."
– Annick Yerem, Editor-in-Chief of Sidhe Press
"Tracee Findlater and Fliss Cary's Stone Trees is mesmeric; a delicate resilience to the 'cold water/licking skin', the 'limerence passing' as the reader bathes in 'white sun/weightless light'. We linger in the liminal space between sand and water, semi-permanence and fluidity, solid and suspension, waiting on the sea or time for answers, or to erase and in doing so discover what was submerged. Findlater's lines shift across the page exploring space, sound and texture, framed by Cary's evocative ink impressions, and reflecting on organic presence in creative processes – a permineralization of ideas – memory striations from which new expression, new artefacts are formed."
– Katrina Moinet, poet
