My first major poetry book, Viking Poetry for Heathen Rites, was released with an audio collection alongside it, in which I recited many of the best poems from the book. Now, after many years of being in print, I’ve released a similar audio collection for Eagle’s Mead, with 27 tracks and running over an hour in length. And it’s available to preview and purchase on Bandcamp.
It’s an important milestone, because this is the only electronic release associated with it. The Eagle’s Mead book has only ever been released in a single hardcover edition—no paperback, kindle, pdf, or epub whatsoever. (Contrasting VPfHR, which is in both hardcover and paperback, and has been released in epub, kindle, and pdf—and with that audio collection.)
Check it out. If you’ve never read my Eagle’s Mead, this’ll be your first opportunity to experience many of the poems from that book. Like in the book itself, you’ll find a wide variety of poems about runes, magic, and esotericism. And it includes audio recordings of my modern poetic renderings of the ancient rune poems (OERP, OIRP, ONRP) and the Hávamál verses about Odin’s winning of the runes.
Enjoy!
