"The poems in this book are entirely concerned with the Fox in its many manifestations in both nature and culture. Ranging from the author's personal encounters to various reported ones, the poems in the book's first main section present and reflect on foxes in the wilder parts of the natural world and on their increased presence in the urban landscape. The other parts of the book offer a compendium of the widespread appearances of the fox in world literature, folklore and mythology, exploring the implications in the imaginal realm."--
