The author tackles the complexities head-on with honesty and sensitivity, without any compromise. Simultaneously engaging multiple genres creative non-fiction, essay, prose, poetry and photography the book interrogates our lives against the backdrop of a dangerously fraught and ever-changing landscape, on the emotional, physical, micro and macro levels.Amid all the negative noise in the world, Anthropocene is a quiet artistic offering a testament to our fervent times where the ever-increasing ravages of climate change scar humanity, where Fascist politics overrides the silence of introspection, where the cleaving schism between the rich and poor becomes ever-widening, where racism peaks at an all time high, where toxicity among people proliferates, and fake news abounds.Ultimately, Anthropocene is a plea for positivity and prayer it urges us to slow down, to introspect, to consume less. It is time once again to learn how to love selflessly and embrace Hope, heed, heal our song, in present tense.
