Not in the traditional sense, of course, but psychic digging, where the process of writing works like a metaphorical spade or shovel. The opening epigraph, \"the places I inhabit and that inhabit me\" (taken from an interview with the late Barry Lopez), foretells delving into places that have mattered most: home, garden, nearby wild nature, childhood landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems are not ordered in an obvious way-by time period or type of place, for example-because they coexist and evolve together in memories, daydreams, and reflections. In one sense, the poems become personal mythologies, revealing themselves as they are written. In another, however, they offer a larger, collective mythology, an invitation to explore how physical places, past and present, domestic and wild, come to inhabit us, shaping us as we shape them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51378536579295,"sku":"9781957863528","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/w5jNyNVSU9781957863528.webp?v=1789257998","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/archaeomythology-chapbook-one-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
