From multiple author and poet Philip Kane comes an astounding collection of poems that ""turn the reader into ... a badger digging for the roots of stars."" Playfully weaving together the ancient and the mundane, the poems in The Decipherment of Nature are an absolute delight for both the magically and poetically inclined.

This was not meant when I cast the spellof rewilding, but here it is: the wolfthat licks at my face to wake me, bats among the rafters, shy deerthat hide under the dinner table.

I follow the hollow way to my study, where I scratch runes into birch bark.

Reviews for The Decipherment of Nature: Poems

""A collection of thoughtful poems that often use the distant past as a lens through which to examine the human condition, from a mammoth bone to a pair of notched Celtic swords to the black ships of ancient Mycenae. Philosophical meditations filled with vivid mythic images."" -Christoper Scott Thompson, author of Pagan Anarchism, If In Ruins We Must Live, and The Book of Onei ""Philip Kane's poetry has a Kentish voice but also an international one. His poems have weight, but they are not too heavy. They turn the reader into an archaeologist digging through the layers of language or perhaps a badger digging for the roots of stars. "" -Bill Lewis, author of Sparrowhawk.
