Alphabestiary - A Poetry-Emblem Book (Paperback)

,
Combining East and West, this volume of poetry and prose ruminations presents a celebration of the international language of fauna--the animals that reside at the core of the imagination. Each letter of the alphabet is linked to a different living thing, allowing these creatures to exist in the fabric of language and providing a categorical list of the beings that travel within thoughts and dreams. In the tradition of the Eastern voice and the Western custom of exegesis and explanation, this volume allows two very different approaches to literature to converge, creating an experience that is accessible, informative, and entertaining.
