The Sampo (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780988719286)

Poetry. Drawing episodes from the Kalevala, a Finnish epic, Peter O'Leary has created a poem of atmospheric intensity, full of elemental forces harnessed by supernatural craft. Line by line, it is composed of images and epithets that flicker into animation, condensed phrases that cascade into sequences of unfolding action. Throughout the quest, THE SAMPO returns us to the hazards of making, the power of singing, and the adventure of poetry.
