Paradise on Earth with Words: Collection 2: Social Society (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798218308094)

In the second volume of his Paradise on Earth with Words series, poet Eric Scott Grand explores every facet of contemporary human society-the ways in which we divide ourselves and the ways in which we come together. Social Society is a stream-of-consciousness study of humanity as it grows and changes in the tsunami-sized wake of accelerating technology, civil unrest, the growing wealth gap, and a devastating global pandemic. But while the aftershocks threaten to swallow the human race beneath the waves, the poet expresses a reawakened sense of hope in the future of the Anthropocene. For Eric Scott Grand, paradise on Earth is still within reach through the miracle of genuine human connection. It is the gentle touch of one hand holding another, then pulling each other up out of the floodwaters.
