TALKING TO THE TREE OUTSIDE MY WINDOW WHILE I SLEEP A plant perceives in the way human skin perceives. It scars, it heals. It remembers. Contemporary artist Kai Lossgott makes minute incisions, punctures and impressions into the nervous tissue of plant leaves to form texts and images. These are only visible against the light. His poems link intricate human bodily processes to the greater ecology. This book evolved from the experience of being silent in nature and experiencing its living presence. Foretelling a shift in human identity, it forges an intimate link with the living systems of the planet.

"With images delicate as pinpricks on skin, Kai Lossgott translates the dreaming human body into a universal anatomy of nerve and leaf and root - fragile but resilient. This luminous work is a love poem, an invocation, and a declaration of communion with a complex living world." |
"Sometimes rarified. Sometimes rough. Exciting. Always Real. The urge to rub your face and body in the pages of this book, like you would with leaves in a pile of Autumn, rises—takes you over, allowing the beauty of the images and words to grow into you. The surrender is easy." |
