In the Tall Grasses

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What is our place in this world, what part do we play in its drama or the politics of nature? While we live in our tall grasses it is difficult to see the world around us for what it is, difficult to find our path, difficult to know what is beyond the fronds.Is our place determined by god or genetics? Is our place defined by the things we hold around us? Does our place in the world even matter?Life in our tall grasses can be mystifying. These poems examine some of our relationships with nature, our gods, our things and other life around us - for what purpose - to what end and once this life is done with us and we travel to our far fields how does that relationship change for those left behind and for our future souls?Age old questions - yes. Difficult to answer - yes, but perhaps addressed from a different perspective traveling within our own tall grasses.
