It draws on animal lore, animal encounters (with grey wolf and manatee), dreams, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and Buddhist ritual to render a text of remarkable sympathy, reciprocity, and power. The poem asks questions as well as urges further engagement with the endangered (including our human selves). Part performance litany, part survival kit, part worried mammalian soundings, Waldman explores, as ever, what it means to inhabit our condition through language and imagination inside a wheel of time. This is the mature work of a philosophical field poet with a shamanic metabolism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Waldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Poets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.4lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143115212","brand":"Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713528467593,"sku":"9780143115212","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_27ab27e1-d7da-44f9-bd1b-7e6171b3f86e.jpg?v=1719614545","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/manateehumanity-9780143115212","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
