Dancing The Solitudes constitutes the collected poems of John Rock running from the years 2007-2015. These works focus on experiencing the natural world through the music of the English language, with poems based in personal and collective myths, and the music that arises out of the eco-systems of solitude and living in closer alignment with the seasons. Most of the poems arise out of the Lake Superior region of the United States and are populated with a vast array of birds, plants, animals, people, and events of that dramatic and deep area. The title of the book comes from the Franz Liszt piano work Benediction Of God In The Solitudes (S.173/3).
