The Language of Trees

A rewilding of Literature and Landscape by Katie Holten

A NATIONAL BESTSELLER

"Inspiring. . . . insights that are scientific, intimate and surprising. . . . a call to action for those who still care."--The Washington Post

Inspired by forests, trees, leaves, roots, and seeds, The Language of Trees: A Rewilding of Literature and Landscape invites readers to discover an unexpected and imaginative language to better read and write the natural world around us and reclaim our relationship with it. In this gorgeously illustrated and deeply thoughtful collection, Katie Holten gifts readers her tree alphabet and uses it to masterfully translate and illuminate beloved lost and new, original writing in praise of the natural world.
