Love Poems for a Tree by Giovanna Iorio Translation by Marco Sonzogni

Male voice Marco Sonzogni Female voice Charlotte Chadwick-Jones

Photo from the Google Map Located on New Zealand's South Island about 300 kilometers (186 miles) from Dunedin, the tree is known as #ThatWanakaTree.

Many consider the tree, which appears to be rising alone out the water, a symbol of hope.

Giovanna Iorio - Sound Artist (UK)

I am a sound artist and I live in UK. I am the founder of the Poetry Sound Library, an archive that preserves the voices of poets from past and present. I research ways to link poetry to the landscape. My sound walks are in UK and around the world. Among my projects there is "Voice of Trees, a sound walk to discover the voices of the most important poets from the Poetry Sound Library: monumental trees or parks receive a poet's voice and they become part of an inspiring sound installation.
