Wissahickon - Scott Robinson

. .

Résumé :
The poems in Wissahickon exist for one reason: to draw our attention to a natural world that is ensouled. Trees, rock, water, fungi, animals, fish, and birds--all participate in Spirit, and all are permeated with soul-stuff. The Christian, Druidic, Tantric, and classical viewpoints, often overlapping and folded into one another in these pages, all serve one end: to help us to see, feel, and know that the world around us has awareness--even consciousness--and that all the creatures with whom we share our planet are our elder siblings, because they were here before us.
