Summary
Summary
Sacred Elephant is a moving portrayal of the world’s largest land-living mammal. The poem explores the life of elephants in their natural habitat and in captivity and details their relentless destruction at the hands of man. The poem is accompanied by a fascinating compilation of facts and figures from elephant history and is sensitively underscored with classical music.
