Más información sobre el libro

These poems give voice to the land and its inhabitants, both human and non-human. Mountains, rivers, lakes, glaciers, starlings, earthworms, oak all have their say, as do the humans who live with and through them. The struggle to be human in a world which is alive with myth, magic and strange, wild energies is the thread running through this collection. Many of its poems were written in the wilds of Patagonia, and their rhythms are influenced by the song of that wild landscape.
