This short set of poems is an expression of our universal need for connection, to ourselves as well as to others, in the most practical and human way possible. Within this beautiful connection to ourselves and others is an essential reconnection to and reconciliation with our shared consciousness. This is, I believe, the ground of our being and the fundamental reality. It seems to me that in order to arrive at this place of intimate connection, it is necessary for us to return to the present, and there, to let go of the past and the illusion of the future.

In Extinction and the Human, Timothy Sweet ponders the realities of animal extinction and endangerment and the often divergent Native American and Euro-American narratives that surround them. He focuses especially on the force of human impact on megafauna—mammoths, whales, and the North American bison. Ultimately, he argues, it is the critical assessment of ideas of human exceptionalism that provides a necessary counterpoint both to apologies for human mastery over nature and deep ecology's attempts to erase the human.

One of the few species in the universe that destroyed their planet no greater love has a man than he lay down his life for his brother. Not for billions, not for glory, not for fame, for one person, in the shadows, where no one will ever know or see. We, humans, are made of contradictions, right, and evil, order and chaos, love, and hate. Peace and passion, we know them, we recognize them, we accept them in general, it is from this diversity our strength comes, we fall, and we rise.
