Stranger in the Mask of a Deer is a captivating poem that weaves an elemental and dreamlike narrative, spanning from the present to the Late-Upper Palaeolithic era when the British peninsula gradually re-established itself as a habitat for humans and animals returning from the greater continent after the Ice Age. Richard Skelton embarked on this book-length poem with the initial intention of delving into the history of Britain's landscape, but the text evolved into a captivating literary seance, incorporating both human and other-than-human voices. The true power of this work lies in the cumulative magic of the word as a ritual, leading the reader on a mesmeric journey towards a place where presences, inherences, and unseen things always exist.
Skelton's poem is a mesmerizing lyric that probes the boundaries of consciousness, seeking to uncover a realm where presences, inherences, and unseen phenomena reside. It is a profound meditation on our origins, our present, and our future, offering insights into the intricate tapestry of human existence. Through his skillful use of language and imagery, Skelton invites the reader to explore the depths of their own consciousness and to contemplate the mysteries that lie beyond the confines of everyday reality.
This poem is a testament to the enduring power of literature to transport us to new worlds, to provoke our thoughts and emotions, and to inspire us to think critically about the world around us. It serves as a reminder that we are all connected in a profound way, and that our stories and experiences can shape the course of history. Whether read as a standalone work or as part of a broader literary exploration, Stranger in the Mask of a Deer is a must-read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the human experience and the natural world.
