In this companion volume to The Tree of Meaning, Robert Bringhurst presents a collection of talks and meditations centered on the principle that "everything is related to everything else." His explorations encompass poetry, polyphonics, oral literature, storytelling, translation, mythology, cultural ecology, literary criticism, and typography, all reflecting a deep sense of interconnectedness. A prominent theme is the nature of poetry itself, including its philosophical dimensions, its relationship with music, and the idea of polyphonics. Bringhurst engages with a diverse array of thinkers and artists, such as Ezra Pound, John Thompson, Don McKay, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. He emphasizes the significance of translation—not just as a process but as a dialogue between languages, enriching the experience of engaging with poems, stories, and songs in their original forms. The collection features passages in Tlingit, Haida, Chinese, Greek, German, Cree, and Russian, inviting readers to explore the nuances of these languages. This work was awarded the 2008 Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize, highlighting its impact and value in literary discourse.
