"The Year is a contemplative almanac charting nature and culture through the zodiac, with a powerful message for our time of grave disjuncture between the two."

Ferdinand Saumarez Smith, author of "Eleusis and Enlightenment"

"Elegantly shows the potential of traditional astrology to deepen our understanding of the most important single issue of our times, namely the ecology of the more-than-human natural world and our impacts upon it. And it does so by quietly correcting the prejudices that have come to dominate modern cultural life. . . . Invaluable."

Patrick Curry, author of "Ecological Ethics"

"Provides a cultural-historical frame for readers to unpack the way Western and secular forms of time are indebted to, or expropriate concepts from, non-Western cultures. A wonderful book that invites you to read its words in ebbs and flows: a historical-cultural-aesthetic-poetic almanac to carry in your pocket, its sentences in your head."
