JUNIPER
FUSE: Upper Paleolithic Imagination & the Construction of the Underworld
Clayton
Eshleman, American poet, translator and editor, Professor Emeritus, Eastern
Michigan University
“Archaeologists and artists have written on
southwestern European cave art, but none have given us a book like this.
Clayton Eshleman has explored and inspected almost all of the great cave art of
southwestern Europe including many caves that are not open to the public and
require special permission. Now with visionary imagination, informed poetic
speculation, deep insight, breathtaking leaps of mind, Eshleman draws out the
underground of myth, psychology, prehistory, and the first turn of the human
mind toward the modern. Juniper Fuse opens us up to our ancient selves: we
might be weirder (and also better) than we thought.”

1 comment:
I think the University Lecture Series is one of the most underrated programs on campus. The number of amazing people that come to this school with a wealth of knowledge is large. They may not all be huge names like Mark Zuckerberg or Presidents of nations, but they are interesting people who give lectures with great take aways. I realize everyone at CMU is busy, but for anyone who is truly the architect of their own education, they should be looking to resources like this in order to maximize their experience here at CMU, and walk away with more than the minimum.
