Ever attentive to the rattle of a rhythm passing through language, Lehnert sees in the nimble scurrying of a salamander \"tiny bolts of lightning driven through the dark.\" He writes with singular grace of a sycamore's sap, \"the blood scabbing the wounds of its roots.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith its intense, philosophical relationship to the physical world, \u003ci\u003eWickerwork\u003c\/i\u003e will open readers's eyes to their own natural environment. Lehnert notes that certain trees have the power to remind us that the growth and protean spirit of things is never in doubt. Here, growth feels possible, necessary, a fact as simple as it is divine.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristian Lehnert \u003c\/b\u003ewas born in Dresden in 1969.
