In the spirit of recasting these legends and voices for new audiences, celebrated mythologist and storyteller Martin Shaw and award-winning poet Tony Hoagland have created extraordinary new versions of these bardic lyrics, folkloric sagas, and heroes' journeys, as they have never been rendered before. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn long, shaggy tales of the unlikely ascensions of previously unknown heroes such as Cinderbiter, in the shrouded origin stories of figures such as Arthur and Merlin, and in anonymous flickering lyrics of elegy, praise, and heartbreak, these poems retain at once the rapturous, supernatural imagination of the deep past layered with an austere, devout allegiance to the Christian faith. Shaw and Hoagland's collaboration summons the power within this storehouse of the Celtic mind to arrive at this rare book--distinctive, audacious, and tuned to our time and condition with a convincing resonance.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Shaw\u003c\/b\u003e is a mythologist, a storyteller, an author, and a designer of mythic life and oral tradition courses at Stanford University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTony Hoagland\u003c\/b\u003e (1953-2018) was the author of \u003ci\u003ePriest Turned Therapist Treats Fear of God\u003c\/i\u003e and six other books of poetry.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.7 x 5.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 07, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47351403282681,"sku":"9781644450277","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/L0o0UjdXSWloVVhQVHh1RmxGRHZpZz09.webp?v=1769800224","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/cinderbiter-celtic-poems-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
