INTO THE EARTH

 

Quarry Press, 2005

 

The title of Dan Featherston's Into the Earth perfectly suggests his push toward clarity, depth, and what Hölderlin calls Quelle, or source. This is a book rich with desire, not for the mere world of social memory but for the complexity of the All.

26 ISLANDS

 

Primitive Publications, 1999

 

A lush exploration of language, both the native tongue of an island people rich with their own language and the enforced language of missionaries demanding the civilized letters of w, i, m. This text ponders not only foreignness but the intricacies of living on an island surrounded by sea, wind, and foreboding.
