WATCH THE NORTH WIND
RISE tells of a poet who imagines the world a thousand years from now.
Clocks, money and machinery have disappeared. Magicians are important
and so are rituals, handicrafts and love.
Everyone worships a Mother
Goddess, and as in the Middle Ages, life is local and personal. Villages
war against each other in dramatic fashion--but only on Tuesdays, and
no one gets hurt. Graves' future world, as explored by a young poet from
our time, has history, reality and stunning inner logic.
"WATCH
THE NORTH WIND RISE is a book so rich in style and plot, so profoundly
mythic and at the same time so lightly comic, that there is simply no
way to communicate its full flavor."
