Author's description:
Planting Trees out of the Grief is a lyrical essay, or work of creative non-fiction about mourning. Planting Trees out of the Grief. In Memoriam Robert Creeley is a ficticious story that mirrors the psychological processes of coping with mourning described in the essay.
The hypertext leads the reader through both texts as same as one goes through the process of mourning. The reader goes further and sometimes he realizes that he just stepped backwards finding himself at the same point he were once before.
There he's got the choice to follow new paths - or to go through the same until a new path (link) reveals. Sometimes people forget they were in grief and then, suddenly, they face their loss again. Therefore, the work deals with intendend moments of recurrence. By this, the reader is forced to find new paths and follow other links.
