Robert Horton was born in London in 1956. One of seven children, Robert became quite introverted, especially after the death of his father in 1967. Finding it difficult to communicate, Robert turned his hand to writing poetry as a means of expression and would write poetry when faced with difficult emotions. Roberts writing has become more prolific over the last five years and is now able to write on a variety of subjects in different styles. This book is a snippet of his works, tackling love, insanity, poverty and war. I hope you agree his words are insightful yet poetic. He often says "I am blessed with the desire to be a poet...yet will never truly be"

Since the earliest days of human memory, countless generations have turned their eyes to the skies in wonder, drawing patterns, understanding the stars’ connection to cycles and events, and carrying their stories and teachings forward to subsequent generations. The Song of the Stars offers a unique journey through the skies, linking us to generations of ancestors who marvelled at the same stars we still gaze upon today. The book brings together Anishinaabe cultural teachings about the cosmos and the Anishinaabemowin language with scientific insights to demonstrate how both viewpoints can help us foster deeper and more meaningful relationships to the Earth and the cosmos. Robert Animikii Horton, Anishinaabemowin educator, proves that this dual perspective can be a source of awe and wonder, inspiring in us a love of both language and science. Demonstrating how Anishinaabe cultural teachings and scientific insights can complement one another and need not be irreconcilable opposites, The Song of the Stars provides a combination of perspectives that cultivates a deeper understanding of the vast mystery surrounding our place in the universe.
