Sommige stukken vond ik vrij saai met allemaal biologische details over bomen, maar het idee van een 'bomen' alfabet vind ik wel heel interessant.

I first heard about this book when it came out and in love with the idea of the tree alphabet I got my tree tattoo from this book and then I never read it.
This year after years of carrying it from one country to another and another I finally started reading it.
It’s funny how somethings just accompany you through time, across space in a kind of dormant way.. and then one day it just springs out. If we are not paying attention we think its a sudden thing, but actually it has been brewing for a long time.
Anyhow... if you are fascinated by trees, language, and poetry like I am... read this book.
