The Fisher King

By: Tamás, Rebecca

In this magnificent retelling of The Fisher King, celebrated poet and essayist Rebecca Tam s makes a call for attention to and connection with the natural world.

A transcendental and cosmological text, The Fisher King moves from an opening prologue of spiritual devotion and aspiration in the vein of Simone Weil's teachings to a magnificent rewriting of the Arthurian legend of The Fisher King.

The Fisher King is an avid capturing of the splinters of time and light. Recalling the philosophical work of Donna Haraway, the poetic jubilation of Jorie Graham, the concise, smart retelling of histories of Anne Carson, the ranging, searching animal-thinking of Ariana Reines, Tam s creates a singing document calling for the knowledge of humans' interconnectedness with other beings, history, and the future.
