What is The Earth and the Dancing Man about?

"There lives in all of us a very private, precious entity which we perceive to be a 'spirit' of some kind, to which all religion and mysticism addresses itself in an effort to dialogue with this 'other', in an attempt to find our place in the myriad conjunctions that define our universe. Poetry is a way of speaking to souls. It is at once direct and cyclical and illuminates its own truths for those that would venture into the unlit areas of our being. The power of poetry then, would be in its unique ability to speak to us in its own 'parallel' language addressed to our 'parallel' selves. The power and strange beauty of Michael Robinson's poems seem to reside in the ability to penetrate the mundane reality of the visible world and join it with the unseen twin of its own being, permitting us to feel, for a moment, the unrestricted sense of timelessness in which he pairs the two halves that constitute the mystery and gift of our being" -- From Introduction (page 6)
