A Tree Grows in Queens by Magali Duzant

A Tree Grows in Queens grafts the artist's written reflections, photographs, and historical images to cultivate a deeper appreciation of the significance of trees in our lives.

A Tree Grows in Queens is a meditation on the many ways in which trees manifest into other forms—from myths and memorials to meeting points and harbingers of luck. In this collection of essays and images, Magali Duzant takes inspiration from trees found in old-growth forests and the urban streetscapes of her native New York City. The book cultivates an intimate connection between the city’s ecology and heritage by examining individual trees and their interdependence with broader concerns, such as climate change, capitalism, and urban revitalization. A Tree Grows in Queens grafts written reflections, historical images, and photographs to kindle a deeper appreciation of the significance of trees in our everyday lives.
