The Abyss: Poems for our World
poignantly sets out that we - human beings - are the greatest threat to life and this world: not only because of our social and political divisions, but also because of our continuing incapacity to come to terms with the need to change our ways, and to adopt behaviors that are less destructive to mother earth, other species of life and indeed, ourselves.
Geza Tatrallyay's last two collections of poetry,
Extinction
and
Extinction Rebellion,
were devoted to exploring the beauty of nature around us and more specifically, how our actions are systematically destroying it.
The Abyss
, continues the focus on our glorious world and the delight we can derive from it and from each other, as well as on the manner in which our habits can have such a harmful impact.
