From Ovid to Octavio Paz, Shakespeare to Margaret Atwood, she blends literary history, theology, philosophy, botany and more and prompts readers to slow down and be reenchanted with our world whether it is drawing or photographing trees or enjoying silence. An exquisite, lovingly crafted meditation on plants, trees and our place in the natural world which was first published in India to great acclaim and is already on its way to becoming an international classic. Sumana Roy offers a new vision of what it means to be human in the natural world in her 'ode to all that is unnoticed, ill, neglected, and yet resilient.' She meditates on forests, plant life, time, self, and more emulate trees' spacious, relaxed rhythms. She is drawn to trees' wisdom, their nonviolent way of being, their ability to cope with loneliness and pain and explores the lessons that writers, painters, photographers, scientists and spiritual figures have gleaned from their engagement with trees. 236pp.
