Jordlöparens bok

A book of thoughts written in a mixture of prose and verse, it wanders through history and biology to examine how we treat nature and how nature, in its turn, seems to regard us. Art is offered as a possible gesture of reconciliation, a hand held out. Behind it all lie simple, large questions: can humans find their way back to a world they have walled off, and can we give anything to the insects and other creatures?
