書名「情批」是「情書」的台語發音。在台中旱溪附近長大的阿尼默，曾自陳黃乙玲曾來夢中教他唱台語歌、若沒畫畫就會成為台語歌手，閩南語輪轉得不得了。在這本《情批》中，阿尼默以台語詩書寫了一封獻給「樹木」和「書本」的美麗情書，也是阿尼默靈魂的原鄉表白。

「表白從來不是本能，如果有人對你表白，無論喜不喜歡，請要善待，因為那是一條經歷千山萬水，才能來到你面前的路。」──阿尼默

**The first picture book by Animo Chen, winner of the 2020 BolognaRagazzi Award for Comics - Young Adult

**Includes illustrations selected for the 2019 Bologna Children's Book Fair Illustrators Exhibition

 
One year  after winning a BolognaRagazzi Award for The Short Elegy in 2020, Animo Chen served up another astounding visual feast--the Taiwanese-language illustrated poem Love Letter.

Taiwanese is a different language from Mandarin. For many in Taiwan, Taiwanese is their first language, their mother language, yet there are less and less new generations using it due to long-term political issues in Taiwan. In Love Letter, Animo composes a beautiful declaration of love for this language as well as trees and printed books (getting also old-fashioned), a confession from his soul.

Love Letter is a beautifully illustrated poem, but it could also be seen as an art book illuminated by text. The first few illustrations were shown in Animo's solo exhibition Flemingia in 2018; they were also selected for the Illustrators Exhibition at the 2019 Bologna Children's Book Fair. From these compositions, a complete narrative began to take shape in Animo's mind. 

The works shown in " Flemingia " depict trees in a variety of shapes and contours, evoking wisps of smoke or curls of hair, blurring the line between the concrete and the abstract. After Animo developed the concept of a book, he created new images almost fearsome in their majesty. The first three landscapes of the book actually connect to form a panorama with forests, log ponds, railroad tracks for transporting logs, paper mills, and old printing presses. Even when serving a narrative and illustrating knowledge, these compositions do not lose one bit of their artistic value.

And of course, the poem is what completes this gentle love letter to the transformation of trees into books."The relationship between trees and readers is the one relationship in the world that balances respect with possessiveness," says Animo. 

As part of its concept, the title of Love Letter on its cover is spelled out using real sticks collected by Animo. The text is not set with any computer font, but physically typeset with a metal font purchased from a foundry in Taipei. "I wanted every character to come from a different print run. It's difficult to control the amount of ink and apply the perfect amount of pressure. But it's okay--we're not machines."  

This Love Letter is a confession of love to the author’s mother language, to trees, to books, to the entire process of book-making. But in the end, the reader will also realize that this is a love letter addressed to the reader out there themselves.

"Confessions do not come naturally. If someone confesses their love to you, please treat them well whether you return their feelings or not. It was a long and difficult road that led them to you."--Animo

In order to show readers the beauty of reciting Taiwanese, Animo collaborated with Sam Liao, an award winning Taiwanese singer-songwriter, to create this animation using the book's illustrations.

遙遠的所在  Styx
：「遙遠、刻意隱藏、不想提起，卻一直抹不去記憶的那遙遠的地方。」

L'isolement, by Alphonse de Lamartine from 'Méditations poétiques', 1820

你無穿衫  無穿鞋  你褪赤跤行佇  彼個世界
風咧吹  你綴咧飛  笑容飛  自由自在

你跋大樹  泅大海  危險無害   因為遐是遙遠的所在
你袂驚惶  袂驚暗  毋驚流目屎   因為遐是遙遠的所在

我無穿衫  無穿鞋  我褪赤跤行入  這個世界
風咧吹  我綴咧飛  笑容飛  難為自在

我跋大樹  泅大海  危險存在  因為遮  是沒人了解的所在
我會驚惶  會驚暗  毋驚流目屎  為著欲去  遙遠的所在
