SPIRIT SPIRIT: SHAMAN SONGS. VERSIONS BY DAVID CLOUTIER. Rhode Island : Copper Beech Press, 1989 [1980]. Scarce. A solid and attractive scarce book. Published more than 25 years ago, this edition is now long out of print and hard to find. From the rear cover: ""This is undoubtedly one of the finest interpretive renditions of 'primitive,' and espiecally American Indian, poetry that I have read. David Cloutier has an extremely rare ability to convey in beauty a genuine sense of the feeling of the shaman and of the 'old-time' American Indian toward the supernatural and natural." -- Michael J. Harner. Director, Foundation for Shamanic Studies. Adapted from texts compiled by various anthropologists, these widely praised versions of Siberia, Eskimo, and Northwest Coast Indian shaman songs and incantations, the first representative poetic renderings in English, keep open the ancient lines of communication between the inner and outer worlds, between the human spirit and the spirit in nature." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Octavo - sized softcover book; 99 pages of text.
