Review: Katie Holten’s anthology translates poetry, quotations and essays about trees into beautiful illustrations
The collection features various writers, including Plato, Elizabeth Kolbert and Aimee Nezhukumatathil, whose contributions are paired with Holten’s forested translations. Holten has designed an entire typeface wherein each letter of the alphabet is assigned a tree whose popular name shares that first letter: “P” is a pine, “e” is an elm and so forth. The book’s poems, quotes and short essays are all translated into Holten’s tree language; the resulting groves illustrate the text.
As in many anthologies, there are moments when the narrative arc commonly expected of book-length works feels more like a winding trail through the woods. But the wet slap of ferns is a good reminder that not all paths should be cleared, and that the moments of delight are many. More than informative, “The Language of Trees” is inspiring; many of its writers merge the lyric with insights that are scientific, intimate and surprising.
