One of my earliest memories is of driving down Roosevelt Boulevard with my grandmother. This was in Northeast Philadelphia in the early ‘90s, a time when that road was an ocean of colossal oaks. It was autumn. The light was golden. My grandma steered her boat-like Chrysler New Yorker carefully with both hands, and by some trick of the light, the enormous oak-leaf shadows raced through the car, painting themselves on the dash, our arms, pants, and her honey-brown leather seats.

Ireland’s medieval Ogham, sometimes called a “tree alphabet,” ascribed trees for letters. The characters were called feda, “trees,” or nin, “forking branches,” due to their shapes. This ancient writing was read from the ground up – each character sprouting from a central line, like branches on a tree. Written on bark, it is no coincidence that some of the first forms of writing used trees. Our capacity to produce language is innate, like a tree's ability to produce leaves.
