Inspired by THE LANGUAGE OF TREES by @katieholten.bsky.social. Max Porter calls it “a masterpiece.” At the heart of the book is a bespoke font called Trees that replaces our ABC with TREES. #naturewriting

A forest green book, with a shimmering gold drawing of a forest on the cover, is held aloft in front of blooming white clematis growing over trees in a Rewilding country garden.

The book title is in white text: The Language of Trees. By Katie Holten. A quote from Max Porter at the top of the cover reads simply, A Masterpiece.

Blue sky above peeking through the trees.

This is the UK hardcover edition published by Elliot & Thompson in London in 2023. The book was originally published in the US by Tin House in April 2023.

At the heart of the book is Holten’s tree alphabet.
