How the Songs Come Down New And Selected Poems

Skins as Old Testament Wonder who first slid in to use another creature's skin for staying warm blood-smeared heresy almost, Hunter becoming Deer, Shepherd the Lamb as in flamelit Dordogne caves or dim cathedrals crawling inside the deer's still-vivid presence there to take their lives from what had moved within, to eat delicious life then spread its likeness over a sleeping and breathing self, musk-wrapped inside the wind, the rain, the sleet to roll up in a seal-skin self beneath a mammoth heaven on which the sleet would rap and tap, to feel both feet grow warm even on ice or in the snow hand-chalicing new tallow flame as spirit of passing life and every time a tingling revelation when the life came back into a freezing hand or foot after the fur embraced its flesh, still deeper when human bodies coupling in a bear's dark fur found winter's warmth and then its child within the woman came alive.Revard, Carter is the author of 'How the Songs Come Down New And Selected Poems' with ISBN 9781844710645 and ISBN 1844710645.
