Inhaltsangabe

For over thirty years, Clayton Eshleman has studied the Ice Age cave art of southwestern France-Juniper Fuse is the culmination of this work. Named after the primitive hand lamp wicks used to light cave walls, the book, in Ronald Gottesman's words, is "a fabulous three-dimensional tapestry of scholarship. Original and intense, it poses serious questions about human nature and its relation to the animal and natural worlds." Juniper Fuse is also a profound examination, in poetry and in prose, of the nature of poetic imagination and personal myth-making. Drawing upon art history and archaeology as well as poetics and personal experience, Eshleman delivers a potent distillation of the"paleoecology" of our minds, a provocative, and wholly passionate, exploration into the nature of consciousness.
