Synopsis

Embark on a perilous journey through this raw collection of poetry that explores violence, human suffering and the predatory forces of nature. Each poem confronts the reader with an example from history or the writer's own experience, daring the reader to rationalize these as the will of a good and just god. The poems sadly ring as true today as the events documented from recent and ancient history. Sometimes difficult and painful to read, the poems still offer hope for humanity-inviting readers not to turn away from life's harsh realities but to bear witness, become "compassionately wise," and "set aside our ancient retributions."
