Technicians of the sacred : a range of poetries from Africa, America, Asia, Europe & Oceania
Jerome Rothenberg (Editor)
"Technicians of the Sacred presents 'primitive' and ancient poetries as the incantations they are, loaded with power and very full of the magic that invests all good poetry. A fresh, ingenious selection of ritual and sacred poetry from around the world, translated with irreverence and raw attitude. Rothenberg finds incredibly powerful language in places where it wouldn't occur to most people to look, and he's not afraid of crudeness and hilarity" --publisher
