Poems, Essays and Letters; Joyce Kilmer   Hardcover   OP*
This collection was compiled and edited by Robert Cortes Holliday. Joyce Kilmer's essays and letters are truly delightful; much better than his poetry (in my opinion) and more appealing to the modern ear. Robert Cortes Holliday's biography of the poet, which forms part of this collection, is definitive. (That was true when I first wrote it. John Covell's new biography is more scholarly and more complete.)        Amazon        Alibris

Recordings

Many recordings have been made. Disney recently re-released it's animated version of the song:
Melody Time Video Cassette
Contents: "Once Upon a Wintertime," "Bumble Boogie," "Johnny Appleseed," "Little Toot," "Trees," "Blame It on the Samba," "Pecos Bill"
The animation for "Trees" is very beautifully done. Miriam is not a fan of Fred Waring, who arranged the music for this segment.

Paul Robeson, who was honored by Joyce Kilmer's mother during his days as a student at Rutgers, made the most powerful and moving recording of the Kilmer/Rasbach song. It is readily available; take your pick according to which of his other marvelous songs you want for your collection! These are re-mastered from Vinyls, so expect to hear the typical noises.

Prima Voce - John Charles Thomas   Audio CD
I have not heard John Charles Thomas performing "Trees." Brad Jenks wrote:

It is safe to assume that if John Charles Thomas recorded anything, it is either the definitive recording of it or it is the most fun version ever cut into disc. The man was unjustly forgotten. Those who do know of him would do well to promote this man who showed with every single note, the joy of singing.

NAPRA Trade Journal, Spring, 1996: Musician (6/97, p.86) - "... Nice mix of poets, folkies and rockers, some of whom are earnest and some of whom let you off the hook with humor, lest the subject matter get too depressing to contemplate..."
