Blackbird Dreams Russell Cutts

"So how will you feel when blue-jays and stingrays, finches on benches, moonlit loons and chartreuse mushrooms, frogs, worms, grasshoppers, giant octupi and sewage-free water are all gone? What will you think when the wild-ones are replaced with fieldrows and slaughterpens imprisoning domesticated doldrums - the monochromatic triumph of an anthropomorphized world? Will you be sad? Do you care? Do something! Why drown when you can stand above the water? I'd rather be carrion to wild things than a slave to civilization! Since time immemorial, life has been sacred. Treat it that way." Using poetry and prose, anthropologist Russell Cutts explores the human condition in four parts - Love, Life, Death and God.
