In the Company of Swallows: Poems and Skyborne Peregrinations
No Customer Reviews
In the Company of Swallows is a diverse collection of poems arranged according to theme and consisting of tributes to the natural wonders of childhood landscapes, celebrations of wilderness adventures, requiems for beloved ecosystems that have been decimated or lost to "the wrecking ball of progress," glimpses into the life of a field biologist, and reflections on the escalating conflict between the religious pursuit of consumerism in modern human civilization and the lonely quest for a meaningful and sustainable existence. The poems are told from the perspective of a passionate naturalist and scientist who alternates between soaring moments of transcendence and periods of despondence while exploring the mountains, deserts, and canyon country of Utah, as well as a few other places he has called home during his wanderings.
