by Geza Tatrallyay (Author), Peter Fox Smith (Foreword by)
"Extinction" by Geza Tatrallyay is a collection of poems and haikus inspired by our relationship with our planet and nature. Within the collection the author paints a gloomy and realistic picture of how mankind has mistreated the planet, and what is in store for us because of the damage we have done.
The book is divided in three sections: The World, Species, and Personal. Although these sections are three points of view, I felt they all focused on how we have affected our planet. The last section shows more of the author's own life experience yet, I felt that it also spoke of the effects that we, as a species, have on our world. Through this premise the author explores the dark side with works like 'Haiku: eons ago, ' 'melting Polar Ice Cap, ' and 'Extinction, ' among others. Through his words readers will visit a world that is losing hope as mankind looks the other way instead of changing their ways.
Geza Tatrallyay's voice is unique in the sense that it somehow manages to take readers though this hopeless world of impending death of the planet, and yet inspire our sense of humanity. It calls for us to stop being witness and begin being active in nourishing our hurting planet.
Extinction is Tatrallyay's third collection of poetry published by P.R.A. Publishing.
