Produktbeschreibung
Weaving the World is a collection of over one hundred eclectic verses on a variety of themes, people, animals, plants and nature. Themes throughout the sixteen chapters range from family, marriage & friendship to community connections, from race, ethnicity & nationality to sexual & gender diversity, from cross-cultural arts to diverse natural wonders, from philosophy & psychology to science & spirituality. Several poems are odes/tributes to race rebels, transgender activists and transformative spiritual teachers. A number of verses comprise protest poetry-advocating for equity and justice for Black, Indigenous and people of colour, for queer, trans and two-spirit people, and for enslaved farmed animals. Certain poems dance the dialectic between existential despair and the joy of life. The final flourish offers a set of life affirmations-heartfelt "encouragements" to fill the holes in our souls and help save our sanity in these dystopian times.
Autorenporträt
Rupert Raj is a Eurasian-Canadian queer elder, pioneering community activist and retired psychotherapist. A multidimensional man, he is an existential humanist, Unitarian Universalist, social democrat, pacifist, ecofeminist, eco-activist, non-meat-eater and animal liberationist. Weaving poignant words about diverse people across countries, cultures, colours and creeds, and verbal images of Mother Earth's rich tapestry of flora and fauna-as well as powerful words of protest against violence toward humans or animals-he is at once a poet-anthropologist and poet-activist.
