Bøger af Marilyn Bowering

Mary MacLeod was a rarity: a female bard in seventeenth-century Scotland. A chronicle of travel through the Scottish Hebrides, More Richly in Earth explores MacLeod's life and legacy, preserved within landscape and memory. Marilyn Bowering forms an unlikely connection with MacLeod despite differences of culture and language, time and place.

Bowering delivers poems that blend of personalities, times, and places that add up to an overall substance she sees as happiness.

Through evocative storytelling and stylish prose, this collection of poetry explores the story of childhood and the development of observation, sexuality, and spirituality through their connections to the animal world and nature.

Eloquent yet concise, these poems skillfully navigate the suffering, enchantments, and revelations of youth.

Human Bodies collects the poems of the latter half of award-winning poet and novelist Marilyn Bowering's illustrious career.
