Title: Ancestors and Species. New & Selected Ethnographic Poetry
First published: October 24, 2005
Description: British writer Tom Lowenstein's work as poet and as ethnographer (specialising, above all, in the Inuit of Alaska) has always been interpenetrative, the poetic work deeply informed by the scholarly. This volume selects poetry from his whole career to date, concentrating on the faultline where his ethnographic concerns meet his poetic concerns.
