The important Quebec poet, Pierre Morency, has turned his eagle eye to nature in this beautiful prose meditation that is at once animistic and practical. This is prose in service of no political position: this is seeing nature \u2014 the thing \u2014 as it is in itself, and therefore arguing by implication for preservation. This is prose in the great tradition of meditations on nature and, not surprisingly, has received major awards in Quebec and Paris. Needless to say, the translation \u2014 by the renowned Linda Garboriau \u2014 is brilliant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
