Listening to the Deep Song
Author(s): Anne Collins
Like a traveller's journal written in prose and poetry, Listening to the Deep Song records Anne Collins' travels through various regions of Spain, which took place over many years. The book offers a meditation on Spain's many-layered history and culture, reflecting on history, landscape, expressions of culture, and change. It reveals places of connection and friction within Spain and across the world; as far as Anne's home in lutruwita-Tasmania (Australia).The writing turns on a poetic dialogue and an embodied praxis; the latter being expressed through both Anne's physical immersion in Spain, and her practice and knowledge of flamenco dance. The latter engages with, especially, the life and works of Federico Garcia Lorca, as well as with other poets and writers of and about Spain.Listening to the Deep Song is deeply personal, yet it offers much that resonates deeply with contemporary concerns. Anne Collins' writing is varied, thoughtful, observant, poignant and beautiful.
