"Interview with an Oak"

2023 Reisens, Ana. “Interview with an Oak.” Solarpunk Magazine, no. 11 (September/October 2023): 6-10.

In the interview, the oak recalls the devastation of the trees, who communicate with each other and have a collective memory, talks to the human (soft skin) journalist about the early cooperation with humans, the devastation caused by human greed, and meeting a young woman who was able to talk to it. The journalist then recounts the impact of the young woman’s transcription of their talks, including the discovery of many other humans talking with trees, and the growing cooperation between humans and trees. The female author is best-known as a poet.
