Description

The Language of Trees: A masterpiece of environmental literature that reveals how trees make our world, change our minds and rewild our lives. Artist Katie Holten gifts readers her visual Tree Alphabet, masterfully translating and illuminating pieces from some of the world's most exciting writers and artists, activists and ecologists.

This beautifully illustrated collection takes us on a journey from prehistoric cave paintings and creation myths to the death of a 3,500 year-old cypress tree, from Tree Clocks in Mongolia and forest fragments in the online marketplace to the language of fossil poetry. Holten unearths a new way of seeing the natural beauty that surrounds us, creating an urgent reminder of what could happen if we allow it to slip away.

Featuring prose, poetry and art from over fifty collaborators, including notable voices such as Ursula K. Le Guin, Robert Macfarlane, Zadie Smith, and Elizabeth Kolbert, The Language of Trees is a celebratory homage to the natural world.
