Time Song by Julia Blackburn : Journeys in search of a submerged land Such a beautiful book , essays about the fascination the author and many of the people she meets have for the mysteries beneath the North Sea. Dry land during the ice ages this part of the world was home to plants , animals and humans. The traces they’ve left behind in the form of artifacts, bones and petrified footprints tantalize visitors to the edges of this now flooded land. The author lets her imagination loose in beautiful poems inspired by her explorations and the kindred souls she meets. She also commissioned mesmerizing artwork for the book, the kind of drawings that invite the mind to wander unconsciously and see what it can see.
