Böcker av Peter J. Wilson

Sometimes the conceptual depth or aesthetic beauty of a poem can stay in a reader's mind forever and be a constant source of wonderment and pleasure. Therein lies the particular appeal of poetry and the value of furnishing one's mind with such magic. The utility in applying one's close attention to this eclectic and unique collection of poems and images is the realisation of the essence of poetry itself. To be transported into that rarefied state of deep reflection, where the realm of imagination knows no bounds, where the wonderment begins and where the magic happens.

The author takes domestication as the starting point for his inquiry into human evolution. Wilson argues that settling down into a built environment was the most radical innovation in human development and that it had a crucial effect on human psychology and social relations.
