A Tree Grows in Queens

Magali Duzant, Parsons School of Design '14

A Tree Grows in Queens is a meditation on the many ways in which trees manifest in 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 in old-growth forests and the streets of her native New York City. The book establishes an intimate connection between the city’s ecology and heritage by examining individual trees and their relation to broader concerns, such as climate change, capitalism, and urban revitalization. A Tree Grows in Queens incorporates written reflections, historical images, and photographs to kindle a deeper appreciation of the significance of trees in our everyday lives.
