THE BREATHING FIELD:
Meditations on Yoga

Poems by Wyatt Townley • Images by Eric Dinyer
Little, Brown & Company

To open The Breathing Field is to enter a suddenly quiet space.

A fusion of poetry and art, this is not a book about yoga poses, but about bridging tranquility from the mat to the page. Its "breathtaking" poems and images create a place of sanctuary in the reader.

The Breathing Field is an ideal companion for poetry lovers, yoga enthusiasts, and the generally adventurous.

"The body itself feels stretched and the breath slows in response to the poetry. For a book to achieve synesthesia is itself a remarkable achievement."

—Hilda Raz, editor of Prairie Schooner

"Truly one of the few yoga books I really love."
