The two earlier books, The Plum Flower Dance: Poems 1985 to 2005 and The Government of Nature, reveal similar themes that address the author's personal experience with childhood abuse through the context of Daoist renderings of nature as a metaphor for the human body, with an eye to recovery and forgiveness in a very eclectic spiritual life. City of Eternal Spring chronicles Weaver's travels abroad in Taiwan and China, as well as showing the limits of cultural influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Afaa Michael Weaver \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of numerous poetry collections, including \u003ci\u003eTimber and Prayer\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003ci\u003eThe Indian Pond Poems\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eMy Father's Geography\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Plum Flower Dance: Poems 1985 to 2005\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Government of Nature\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award; and \u003ci\u003eCity of Eternal Spring\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Phyllis Wheatley Book Award.
