SEEING THE SONGS PB [Idioma Inglés]: A Poet's Journey to the Shamans in Ecuador - Softcover

"Gary Margolis has always been a poet, but, in Seeing the Songs, he emerges as a poet in the Emersonian sense: a Seer whose eyes are opened to the world and whose heart and mind sing back this wisdom in words. Margolis transforms memory into vision and vision into a call for action ... to protect these tribal cultures and sacred forests on their own terms, not ours." -Rebecca Gould, author, At Home in Nature: Modern Homesteading and Spiritual Practice in America "Gary Margolis masterfully describes both his inner and outer journeys, as only an accomplished poet can do. He invites us to materialize our dreams, quell our nightmares, and experience life with indigenous teachers. Seeing the Songs IS being there. When you enter this incredible book, you enter a world where dreams and reality weave each other and "fact becomes poetry, poetry becomes fact." -John Perkins, author, Confessions of an Economic Hitman "Gary Margolis writes important poems about important subjects, which he understands in emotional and intellectual depth ... Seeing the Songs, this fine book, now demonstrates in his lyrical prose." -Bill McKibben, author, Earth: Making a Life on a Tough, New Planet
