Whispers of a One-Eyed Raven: Mythological Poetry by John W. Leys

4.0

As someone of Norse descent on my mother's side, I highly enjoyed some of the Celtic mythology and history and lovely language. I find the introduction and history of language and mythology were very well informed for the reader. Leys has a way of drawing you into his world, keeping you engaged, and making you want to be in the world of old. He evokes emotion, imagery, and history. The languages were a great resource and anyone of Celtic ancestry or anyone interested in that culture would be wonderfully immersed in it. The poetry had a quite airy quality that keeps the reader involved, imagining, and wanting for more. I highly enjoyed Leys book and am sure to reference back to it when the mood strikes.
