<p>As Tammy Armstrong rode horseback on a one-month sojourn in Iceland, up rose the ley lines that crosshatched the landscape &#8212; ancient tracks rife with saga, myth, and human history. In this collection, her poems both respond to W.H. Auden&#39;s poetic travelogue, <i>Letters from Iceland</i>, and evoke her raw relationship to the native natural world of North America.</p> <p>In language that folds upon itself, chance sightings of wild creatures become a study of humanity before the animal that waits. In re-negotiating a space that includes other species and other life forms, Armstrong unbalances her perceptions, making her own space unfamiliar and finding new ways of conceiving of a less human-centred environment.</p>
