AlbakiReads Editorial

A tree-shaped language for writing about nature

Katie Holten builds this illustrated collection around a tree alphabet, using it to translate and illuminate writing about the natural world. The book brings together original and previously published work from more than fifty contributors, alongside Holten’s own approach to a language inspired by forests, leaves, roots, and seeds. Its special-edition framing presents the collection as a keepsake, with an introduction by Ross Gay. The blend of visual material, a constructed alphabet, and varied contributions makes the book as much an exploration of how people represent nature as a gathering of writing in its praise.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in trees, forests, and the natural world
  • Readers who enjoy illustrated collections and experimental approaches to language
  • Readers seeking writing from a broad group of contributors on nature
