Snake Language (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781068707797)

Nigel Wells is the author of three award winning books of poetry and a collection of four uniquely poetic performance texts. You never know with Nigel Wells.

As he wrote in his brilliant Wilderness cycle, "I probe the bones ... I gut the very world." Now with Snake Language, Wells takes myth, history, the elements of nature, and the vibrations of the heart on a journey into magical spaces - in strange forms, in strange vehicles, and on the backs of creatures (including humans) at once ordinary and fantastical.

There is an entire world between these pages: probed, gutted, graspable and sometimes just out of reach.
