Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Words from the Ancestors, in paperback, more than a simple anthology, is a poetic expression of a world-view, a philosophy, and a way-of-life that all at once honour the past, acknowledge the present and embrace the future. With highly distilled, alliterative form, rich in symbolism and allegory, this volume embodies decades of learning and contemplation of the indigenous cultures of ancient Europe. Rooted in the land and within the ancient cultures, yet, full of insight still every bit as much applicable to life in the modern day; and by which even to inspire future generations. Dano Hammer's poetry expresses an ancient and timeless wisdom alongside a boundless hope for the future. Dano Hammer is a writer, poet, singer and rapper, musician, artist and craftsman living on Salt Spring Island, in British Columbia, Canada.
