The Language of Trees: A Rewilding of Literature and Landscape

byKatie Holten

Artist Katie Holten creates a “tree alphabet” and gathers writing inspired by forests, leaves, roots, seeds, and the many relationships trees sustain. Essays, poems, fiction, and visual work invite readers to reconsider how language shapes attention to the natural world. Holten treats reading and rewilding as connected practices: both can recover patterns and voices that dominant systems overlook. The illustrated collection moves between science, literature, art, and environmental thought, offering not a single translation of trees but many ways to perceive landscapes as communities filled with communication, memory, and life.
