| Abstract | " 'Inanimate is eloquent, speaking from back alleys, shopping centers, water tanks and bathroom walls, where animals are present but almost invisible, and truly inanimate. The crisis of species loss is all around us, if we choose to see it. Where once there was birdsong and cougar cries and the howl of wolves, now there is the silence of plastic and paint and rusting steel. Once a part of the animate world, humans are becoming the lonely, orphaned animal.' - Zoe Krasney Voices for Biodiversity https://voicesforbiodiversity.org/articles/wildlife-in-civilization%E2%80%99s-image-a-review-of-ina "... 'splendid work, a masterpiece of design, printing and overall conception. The subject itself in tune with the continuing news on the latest Extinction. A meditation on the passage of spirit or passage failure from animalanimal to humananimal and back, the latter documenting so many abject sins. I am quite simply dazzled...' " - Nathaniel Tarn, Essayist, Anthropologist, and Publisher, Author of Gondwana and Other Poems. |
