Weaving the World: A Tapestry of Eclectic Verse

By: Raj, Rupert

Weaving the World is a collection of over one hundred eclectic verses on a variety of themes, people, animals, plants and nature. Themes throughout the sixteen chapters range from family, marriage & friendship to community connections, from race, ethnicity & nationality to sexual & gender diversity, from cross-cultural arts to diverse natural wonders, from philosophy & psychology to science & spirituality. Several poems are odes/tributes to race rebels, transgender activists and transformative spiritual teachers. A number of verses comprise protest poetry-advocating for equity and justice for Black, Indigenous and people of colour, for queer, trans and two-spirit people, and for enslaved farmed animals. Certain poems dance the dialectic between existential despair and the joy of life. The final flourish offers a set of life affirmations-heartfelt "encouragements" to fill the holes in our souls and help save our sanity in these dystopian times.
