    About this audiobook

    Sacred Elephant is a moving portrayal of the world’s largest land-living mammal. The poem explores the life of elephants in their natural habitat and in captivity, and details their relentless destruction at the hands of man. Evocatively read by the author, the poem is accompanied by a second disc containing a fascinating compilation of facts and figures from elephant history. Sensitively underscored with classical music.

      What Form Can Hold

      Jan 1, 2024

      If poetry is, at least in part, a quest for form, then form is a poem’s architecture. The words of a poem may be its raw materials—the wood, the stone, the glass—but form is the magic that makes it possible to enter inside those word shelters, to fin

      It was a very informative book i gained a lot of information about elephants in their behaviors in their social patterns which is really interesting .a bit sad in some spots although sometimes the truth is painful. good book not the best one I’ve ever read and I read a bunch of elephant books but good book nonetheless. I didn’t really care for the music that was played in the audiobook but that’s OK
    • 4/5
      Moving and eloquent work delivered by photos, verse and prose text celebrating the existence of elephants and how dangerously decimated the elephant population is.
