About this book

*SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 BRITISH BOOK DESIGN & PRODUCTION AWARDS*THE IRISH TIMES BESTSELLER and IRISH INDEPENDENT BOOK OF THE YEAR'A masterpiece' Max Porter'A forest of writing to be cherished' Irish Times'One of the most inspired items of environmental literature in recent years.' Irish IndependentIf trees have memories, respond to stress, and communicate, what can they tell us? And will we listen?A stunning international collaboration that reveals how trees make our world, change our minds and rewild our lives – from root to branch to seed.In this beautifully illustrated collection, artist Katie Holten gifts readers her visual Tree Alphabet and uses it to masterfully translate and illuminate pieces from some of the world's most exciting writers and artists, activists and ecologists.Holten guides 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 Amazon to the language of fossil poetry. In doing so, she unearths a new way of seeing the natural beauty that surrounds us and creates an urgent reminder of what could happen if we allow it to slip away.Printed in deep green ink, The Language of Trees is a celebratory homage filled with prose, poetry and art from over fifty collaborators, including Ursula K. Le Guin, Robert Macfarlane, Zadie Smith, Radiohead, Elizabeth Kolbert, Amitav Ghosh, Richard Powers, Suzanne Simard, Gaia Vince, Tacita Dean, Plato and Robin Wall Kimmerer.'Immersive, celebratory… all beautifully illustrated.' Observer'A visual reminder that, like strong oaks from little acorns, we still can create the world in which we wish to live.'
