Songs for Relinquishing the Earth

Drawing on Jan Zwicky's dual background as a musician and philosopher, this collection features poems that celebrate nature and the beauty of the prairies and rural Ontario. Originally published in 1996 as a handcrafted book, each copy was uniquely sewn in response to individual requests, emphasizing a personal connection between the author and readers. The minimalist presentation included recycled materials and a distinctive lavender field photo, with promotion relying solely on word of mouth.
