Pushing against the boundaries of what poetry might be, Alison Glenny’s The Farewell Tourist is haunting, many-layered and slightly surreal. In The Magnetic Process sequence a man and a woman inhabit a polar world, adrift in zones of divergence, where dreams are filled with snow, icebergs, and sinking ships. Their scientific instruments and observations measure a fragmented and uncertain space where conventional perspectives are violated. In a series of histories – of the Atmosphere, of the Honeymoon – footnotes reference vanished texts. By turns mysterious, ominous and evocative, they represent connections to an obscured narrative of disintegration and icy melancholy.

I was hesitant to order this online but oh my GAWD, it's so much better than I thought it'd be. Soft and warm, and cozy. Far exceeded my expectations, and really took the Eames to the next level. Highly recommend.

Very nice quality

I ordered three of these, and they arrived promptly and very well packaged in a vacuum seal pack. Once you pull them out, shake them and fluff them a little bit they lose their wrinkles pretty quickly. They seem to be very good quality and are authentically sheepskin. The “white” has a tiny little bit of a yellow undertone, which is what I expected since it’s basically a dyed sheep skin. I would call the white color “natural” rather than white white. They are very thick and were a good price. I ordered two of the three foot-long hides and one 6ft foot hide. One of the hides had a slight odor to it that reminded me a little bit of eggs. It’s been laying on my bench all night and 24 hours later there is no smell. The other two hides had zero smell at all. I think it’s just a little leftover chemical smell from the treatment of the hide when they get it ready. It wasn’t overwhelming or overpowering. If you’re looking for the ultimate SUPER plush sheepskin, I recommend the Overland Sheepskin Company. However, for what I need these for which is just something to throw over my dining room table bench for a little cushion and aesthetics. It’s absolutely perfect and the right price point.

Beautiful Good Quality Sheepskin, Beautifully Packaged
Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Creamy White, Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Creamy White
Very nicely packaged and presented sheepskin rug. Seems like very good quality and is just as I imagined it would be based on my previous experiences with sheepskin. I don’t think it’s as soft as others seemed to think but it has been chemically processed and it is very similar in texture to what I remember from past experiences with sheepskin. I got this for the kitties to nap on - one seemed proud of me for bringing home a pelt and went into hunt mode. The other looked at me suspiciously like he didn’t really know me at all and was afraid I could be eyeing him for his fur! Hopefully once they both adjust they’ll enjoy napping on it 🙀😻

Full of beauty!
Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Creamy White
This company takes pride in their work. The sheep skin covering is beyond what anyone could imagine. I purchased this for medicinal purposes. I found out I have SI joint dysfunction. And this sheepskin helps to relieve pressure points so I am using this as a chair covering for when I sit. The product came in a big box and then a plastic bag and then a third, well covered, plastic bag to protect the sheepskin. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this covering. The price was excellent. It will take your breath away. Very happy with my purchase. There was no odor when I opened the package. Many thanks for an excellent product and helping me to be more comfortable when I sit for short periods of time. :)
