- More about The Girl Who Became a Tree: A Story Told in Poems
The Girl Who Became a Tree is a heart-stoppingly imaginative story told in poems that blend the ancient legend of Daphne with a modern tale of a girl seeking her own freedom. It is layered, rich, and ultimately a tour de force of poetic skill and energy.

Publisher: Otter-Barry Books Ltd
Daphne is in a state of profound sorrow and disorientation. The loss of her father weighs heavily on her heart, and she finds solace in two distinct places: the comforting embrace of her local library and the temporary escape offered by her phone screen, which shields her from the outside world. As Daphne grapples with the overwhelming pain she experiences, memories of shared moments and cherished stories flood her mind, providing a glimmer of hope in the face of darkness. Through this introspection, Daphne begins to unravel the confusion and fear that have consumed her, finding a path back to connection with her friends and family.
The Girl Who Became a Tree, penned by Joseph Coelho, showcases a remarkable mastery of poetic forms throughout its narration. Coelho seamlessly blends the ancient legend of Daphne, who was transformed into a tree to evade Apollo's affections, with a wholly contemporary narrative that interweaves elements of reality and fantasy. This captivating story, told primarily in poetic form, oscillates between bleakness and tragedy, yet remains intricately layered, rich, and ultimately a testament to the poetic prowess and boundless energy of Coelho.
