Description
Celebrate the turning of the wheel with this collection of bardic verse. It is based upon my repertoire as a performer and has developed over fifteen years. Each one of these 32 poems I perform from memory, in the bardic tradition. I suggest you do the same. In learning the words by heart we can speak from the heart and not from a piece of paper - the performance becomes immediately more powerful and personal, audience awareness increases as eye contact can be maintained, and the audience's respect for the poet also is heightened. I have used these poems to create a magical mood, to sanctify, to raise energy. They are invocations and blessings - ways of honouring the gods, our sacred times and places, and ourselves.
Now with Audio CD!
Review
This little book is full of poetry that takes you through the wheel of the year. Tallyessin Silverwolf's poems are simple yet paint intricate pictures of the changing seasons. It's very beautifully done. The verse is punctuated with mostly his own artwork, he is indeed a very talented person and its so refreshing to see this work so proudly displayed.
Not only can you read Kevan's poems you can hear them. He has included an audio CD of many of his poems. His voice is powerful and confident, vibrant and alive.
Kevan doesn't keep his secrets to himself, he shares how we all can write and sing our poems just as well as himself.
It's a lovely little book, a companion for any bard!
