Summary
The first time, so strange, their mouths with the rough tongues of night-birds, shivering with dew and warming with dawn. Killers have been there, close by.
In which wisdom and war.

Summary
"Reflecting eighteenth century antiquarian approaches to place, which included history, folklore, natural history and hearsay, the deep map attempts to record and represent the grain and patina of place through juxtapositions and interpenetrations of the historical and the contemporary, the political and the poetic, the discursive and the sensual; the conflation of oral testimony, anthology, memoir, biography, natural history and everything you might ever want to say about a place …"--Mike Pearson and Michael Shanks

Summary
"I am especially interested in the stranger, in the slippage between the abnormal and the unnatural, and in people who deliberately set themselves outside the norm, choose to be abnormal, in order to become unnatural, especially in the case of the magician or sage or shaman, to be unnatural in their conquest of death, who travel, for example, outside the norms of human existence, living outside the world, visiting the land of the dead, living immense life spans, returning themselves from the dead." –Paige DuBois, Out of Athens

Summary
And I never know why, whenever we get to tactics,
Men either laugh or cry, though neither is strictly called for.
But perhaps I have started too early with a difficult task?
We will start again, further north, with a simpler problem.
Are you ready? Is everyone paying attention?
Very well then. Here are two hills.—Henry Reed, "Movement of Bodies""All visible visibly
Moving things
Spin or swing,
One of the two."--W.H. Auden, "The Runners""We are bodies at motion and at rest."--Thomas Lynch
