Why read it?

1 author picked Landings as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Landings continues Rhenisch’s love affair with Iceland, first described in The Art of Haying: A Journey to Iceland. These visionary poems transport us to another world, parallel but far off, shimmering in perpetual shifts of weather and evolving language, in love charms and arresting images woven through the book so vibrantly that trolls and elves shape the landscape.

For all who love wild, magical journeys into the unknown, read these poems and be translated into another realm. Rhenisch writes, “There was once an exodus from the Earth. Now there is a return to it. I hope you will come along.”
