Summary

From Inside These Wild Ones is a collection of earthy poetry emerging from the author's experiment of living outside with the seasons and the living sky as his heart-home roof. From bears, bees, and birds, to storms, snakes, and silence, these poems honor the animate web of life and our intimate relationship inside it. The poems here are not only reminders of the mystery of our other-than-human kin, but evocations of the animals we are. Van Lenning weaves lyric, humor, and mythopoetic exploration to invite a multispecies, embodied, and soulful participation in the unfolding symphony of life. The beasts within are lurking, listening, yearning to live. From Inside These Wild Ones is Book 3 in the Re-Membering Series.
