Description
This is a small, paperback book of poetry. The book's front cover has a photograph of a single mist covered tree in the distance, framed by a grouping of clearer trees in the foreground. The photograph is featured in the lower half of the cover and is bordered in a narrow green line. Down the left side is a narrow green line, dividing the front cover background into two different colors. The left third is off-white and the right two-third is a light tan. Above the image, on the tan background, centered in the upper half, is the title in green text that reads "The/ Government/ of Nature." Below the image on the tan background, centered along the bottom, is the author, written in green text "Afaa Michael Weaver." In the upper left quadrant on the off-white background is a vertical line of Chinese characters.
