Songs of unreason / Jim Harrison.

xi, 143 pages ; 24 cm

Book description: Jim Harrison's compelling and provocative Songs of Unreason explores what it means to inhabit the world in atavistic, primitive, and totemistic ways. "This can be disturbing to the learned," Harrison admits. Using interconnected suites, brief lyrics, and rollicking narratives, Harrison's passions and concerns-creeks, thickets, time's effervescence, familial love-emerge by turns painful and celebratory, localized and exiled.
