Sinopsis

&ldquo,I&rsquo,m not a prophet, but I believe you have written a great poem&hellip,&rdquo,á&mdash,Octavio Paz (from a personal letter)&ldquo,The note on the back cover of the first edition of Avebury describes the book as &lsquo,a series of lyrical meditations, in which man&rsquo,s roots are rediscovered in the modes of perception of earlier cultures&rsquo,. This is true, but it is also true to say that &lsquo,love defeating death&rsquo, is a universal theme.&rdquo,á&mdash,Jeremy Hookerá&ldquo,Avebury freely moves through time, from pre-textual history to descriptions of art and civilisation, in the same way that Olson&rsquo,s Maximus Poems and all of Eliot&rsquo,s poems in Four Quartets envision history as an event that is taking place now and always, past and present simultaneously existing.&rdquo,á&mdash,Neli Moody&ldquo,It was a welcome surprise to find Avebury, where I have walked among the stones so often, placed back meaningfully on the spiritual map.&rdquo,á&mdash,Charles Tomlinson
