A poetry book dedicated to Rob Ganson, a prize-winning poet from Wisconsin. The book contains political as well as love poetry. The author pulls no punches in describing violence and death and love, as well as important political and philosophical issues relevant to all times. The book contains poetry of Rob Ganson, and other important modern poets known by the author, in a separate section at the end of the book.
Danny Beatty uses elements of the natural world to show how sex, love, and death are the unifiying elements of tyranny, as well as enlightenment and freedom. The book tells of the contradictory nature of our existence, and of how the natural world, its laws and its chaos, is the source of all that we are, and so to understand it is to become a freer more fulfilled human being.
