Description
"Rage Against the Dying" is the second offering by emerging Canadian poet, Joshua Baptie. Taking its name from the famous poem by Dylan Thomas, the book explores our highs as well as our lows, offering refuge for those who are hurting or angry and hope to those who need it most. Through a series of deeply emotional, thought-provoking verses, the author presents an unflinching examination of what it's like to live in our current sociopolitical climate, both appreciating the world for its tragic beauty while still acknowledging how far we've fallen, and how much work must yet be done before we can begin to heal. With his beautiful, raw, sharply-written prose, Mr. Baptie paints a portrait of a society in crisis, casting stark relief on the most egregious issues plaguing humanity as a whole. Yet the author assures us there is hope, reminding readers of the inherent good left in the world and urging us ALL to stand up, band together and save it. It is a call to action, a missive begging that we not give in to despair and darkness, but Rage - RAGE - Against the Dying of the light!
