An expansion of Corina's great Trees I Miss zine, Trees I Love / Trees I Miss embraces both trees past and present. As in the previous edition, the sweet and simple premise opens up into a lot of interesting history, poetic prose, and assorted tree-related goodness.
From the introduction of Trees I Love: "When I began writing about trees, I realized that a lot of them — most of them, I loved because they were odd...The illustrations on this page are the stereotypes of how we imagine trees: symmetrical, lush, far-reaching. This is what you often see in trademarks featuring trees, in Christmas trees, and what nurseries advertise. Except for one, the trees I love are the exact opposite."
From the introduction of Trees I Miss: "The trees I remember were like touchstones; I'd look forward to seeing them in different neighborhoods, or as the changing seasons revealed their baby leaves in spring, their autumn colors, or their bare branches against winter skies. When I first discovered these trees gone, they left holes in the sky and in my heart where they'd been."
20 pages, half-letter size.
