The poems in The Zoo of Humanity boldly speak about the unique human experience in an open, honest, and unapologetic way. They challenge us to hold a mirror to the world to see the damage caused, so that we can work toward meaningful restoration. Likewise, these poems challenge us to hold a mirror to ourselves, forcing us to recognize the blessings of being alive and the burdens that come with living.

These poems hold us accountable for the choices we willingly make while giving grace and mercy for the decisions we were forced to make, refining hope and love in the fire of forgiveness. These poems reflect our mental, physical, and spiritual weaknesses as well as our strengths, opening our hearts to healing, reconciliation, and peace with the world, and more importantly with ourselves.
