The Magic Apple Tree

"The Magic Apple Tree" is a collection of poetry by Elaine Feinstein, published in 1971. Feinstein, a British writer and translator, often explored her Eastern European heritage in her work. Her poetry, like her novels, frequently features characters influenced by their dreams and memories, with women often seeking their identity within family structures and beyond. "The Magic Apple Tree" followed her first poetry collection, "In a Green Eye," and her novel "The Circle." Feinstein's writing is characterized by its use of poetic imagery, which involves sensory and figurative language to convey meaning and evoke emotional responses in the reader.12
