"Bedrock"pg 64 is about the true beauty of nature. Gary is hoping to learn something about true peace and the actual value of nature. Gary wants to learn how to be tender and love in the best way possible.
"The Dazzle" pg 65 explains the wonder that is the reproductive cycle for flowers. Gary seems to be amazed by how flowers reproduce with the use of pollen and using insects to transport the pollen. The setting of this poem is Spring and he is explaining all of the pollen that covers everything in March. How this amazing process takes place and how the plants grow even without human interference.
"Ethnobotany" pg 51 compares the natural way that trees fall and the way that humans go around cutting trees down for their own personal gain. Gary also talks about how somethings in nature are poison while others are not, without prior knowledge the difference would never be known. Knowledge is usually passed from one person to another. To save the environment people need to pass on knowledge.
The believe of bio-regionalism was an inspiration for many articles and probably many of Gary's poems. Gary used his poems to open people's eyes to the world around them and that harm that humanity is causing.
