"The poems in this remarkable collection are truly songs, sung by the elemental world in which we live and to which we often don't listen. But Elizabeth Cunningham has given this world a voice--many voices--and to hear them is to enter a dimension of thought and feeling where the natural wisdom of the earth and its denizens comes home to us. Read them slowly and be blessed." --Tom Cowan, author of Fire in the Head: Shamanism and the Celtic Spirit and Yearning for the Wind: Celtic Reflections on Nature and the Soul

"Elizabeth Cunningham has written a book of voices that sing, keen, prophesy, and proclaim themselves. The voices are those of types and modes of being, each with a personality that is persuasive and eloquent. Like all good poems, Cunningham's reveal things-in-themselves: cat, mouse, goat, tree, boy, mountain, killer, fool, crone, water, stone. Here, even silence finds its voice. The disparate band of survivors interact, mourn, find sustenance, take shelter, feel, think. The poet describes the book's setting ambiguously, either immediately after our time or long before it. Either way, this world is not ours. It is more elemental and earthy, a place of myths rather than news, a tragic and magical time of loss when pigs can fly. Tell Me The Story Again is completely original and deeply rewarding." óRobert Wexelblatt, author of Fifty Poems and Hsi-Wei Tales
