"Gary Margolis has always been a poet, but, in Seeing the Songs, he
emerges as a poet in the Emersonian sense: a Seer whose eyes are
opened to the world and whose heart and mind sing back this wisdom
in words. Margolis transforms memory into vision and vision into a
call for action . . . to protect these tribal cultures and sacred
forests on their own terms, not ours." —Rebecca Gould,
author, At Home in Nature: Modern Homesteading and Spiritual
Practice in America|"Gary Margolis masterfully describes both his
inner and outer journeys, as only an accomplished poet can do. He
invites us to materialize our dreams, quell our nightmares, and
experience life with indigenous teachers. Seeing the Songs IS being
there. When you enter this incredible book, you enter a world where
dreams and reality weave each other and 'fact becomes poetry,
poetry becomes fact.'" —John Perkins, author,
Confessions of an Economic Hitman|"Gary Margolis writes important
poems about important subjects, which he understands in emotional
and intellectual depth . . . Seeing the Songs, this fine book, now
demonstrates in his lyrical prose." —Bill McKibben, author,
Earth: Making a Life on a Tough, New Planet |"Whether sharing his
intense experiences with Otavalo shamans in Ecuador, his journey
through craters, playing ball with locals or his adventures in the
jungle with the Shuar people, Gary Margolis genuinely shares his
experiences as if unashamedly talking to his best friends." —Ximena
Mejia, Director of counseling, Middlebury College
