This collection of poems, painful at times in their acute graphic detail on how humanity has fallen from grace, is in essence a call to the prophecy of a new consciousness and a must-read for all that still need convincing that the very measure of our humanity lies in how we respect the dignity of all with whom we share our existence.

The reader is not asked to relinquish their omnivore habits, nor adopt them, but to consider the roles played in our lives by animals and whether it is our responsibility, alongside taking care of the planet, to treat animals with dignity and respect. This book is an educated modern woman's heartfelt offering. Dr. Nahal's compassion and observation of animal existence and what we can improve are both necessary and urgent.
