A Dance of Life
Man with Nature in paintings and poetryby Louise Blood
fruit bats, silouetted against the moon
like ants crawling over a picnic cake....a bird with bill with funny knob
swinging on banana's pendulum bob...micky birds upside down and downside up....
mudlarks, feathers fluffed up in a sprinkler's spray make merry...
frogs, gular pouches bloated and throbbing, serenading to life renewed...
"In its celebration of the cycle of life it also captures seasons of the spirit - joy, vitality, reverence, meditativness"
"tropical houses provide a stage for nature and its creatures ... a book that lifts our spirits and renews our wonder"
