EVENT DESCRIPTION
A recital to celebrate the launch of Timothy McLaughlin’s third volume of poetry. Recitations from McLaughlin will be complemented by music, singing by Madi and Ishi Sato, sound healing by WalkingStar, and a special appearance by author Joan Borysenko.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
With these poems and stories, McLaughlin brings us far into the wild mountains and the wilds of the human soul, to regard and name things as they are: in turns astonishing and devastating. In tender recounts of nature wanders and of family relations, sweeping anthems of praise and lament, and a unique brand of new mythology, the state of earthly life is here explored with an unwavering eye and a keen ear.
ADVANCE PRAISE
“McLaughlin is always working to heal humans back into the wider tangle of the land, to entwine the many-voiced eloquence of the forest with his human tongue…The poetic sparks given off by his strivings carry clues and hints for those who seek to remain true to what matters.”
from the foreword by David Abram, author of Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology
“McLaughlin crafts a breathtaking tapestry of nature and its vital connection to body and soul, weaving the raw and the reverent into verses that pulse with life. This collection is a lyrical anatomy of the wild, where rivers become veins, forests breathe, and the earth’s ancient bones whisper stories of resilience and reverence. A truly magnificent work from a rare bard—this is a book to cherish and visit with often.”
Joan Borysenko, New York Times bestselling author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind
