How to understand the voice lost between forest and city, which cries, “I am not wild, I am not human.” Why fear wildness? What lies in the need to tame ourselves and others? These are the questions raised in \u003cem\u003eFeral\u003c\/em\u003e, the eagerly anticipated second collection by the American Book Award winning author of \u003cem\u003eThe Island of Lost Luggage\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt times tender, at times angry, the chorus of displaced voices in \u003cem\u003eFeral\u003c\/em\u003e maps our fractured relationship with the earth and issues a call for reunion. “What if the world came back?” one voice asks. What if “lake river ocean” called our bodies to remember? In the visionary anti-epic that concludes the book, a people struggle to understand their history as they journey toward their land of origin, toward the earth they are trying to remember. Through finely wrought imagery, a keen musicality, and a perspective that is both compassionate and exacting, this powerful collection explores how our relationship to land determines who we are –as individuals, as cultural beings, and as nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41081510002785,"sku":"9781844712953","price":9.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/fc57b3973b59b381050db1a476635363.jpg?v=1700295438","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781844712953-feral","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
