Stranger in the Mask of a Deer conjures an elemental, dreamlike
narrative ranging from the present to the Late-Upper Palaeolithic,
when the British peninsula was gradually reoccupied by humans and
animals returning from the greater continent after the Ice Age.
Richard Skelton began this book-length poem many years ago with the
intention of exploring the history of Britain's landscape, only for
the text to transform into a kind of literary seance, involving
both human and other-than-human voices. Its transforming power lies
in the accumulative magic of the word as ritual. Skelton's is a
mesmeric lyric, probing the edges of consciousness towards a place
where 'there are always presences / always inherences / things
beyond sight.' 'An incredibly moving, essential meditation on where
we have come from, where we are, and where we are headed.' -Kerri
