Publisher's Synopsis
In The Feral Condition, Gaylord Brewer's tenth collection of poetry, the poet engages more deeply than ever before in his work the challenges and rewards of the untamed world. In this uniquely private yet universal series of intersections with the wild--ranging from the Catalonian Pyrenees to rural Portugal, to Costa Rica, to the poet's home in Tennessee--serendipitous moments abound, whether small or grand, sought out or fatefully offered. How to translate these glimpses of what remains? How to amend one's own life to a stark yet crucial summons? In these unforgettable meditations, poems by turns whimsical, harrowing, and delightful, Brewer undertakes an answer.
