Recently revised for the current millennium, this beautiful new edition of Richard Grossman's 400-poem pastoral, The Animals, invites us to enter a world where all the inhabitants speak the same language, creating a powerful literary work that voices the concerns of the entire global community. In its exploration of personal issues and emotions, this unique and moving book affirms the great family of terrestrial life, seeking to unveil the sources of its wisdom and beauty, sources that lie at the heart of all poetry. At the center of the book is a chorus of two hundred different animals, representing the broad spectrum of earthly life. As each of the creatures sings to us, their individual stories reveal how all life shares the same suffering, dignity, and joy. Surrounding these poems are dialogues between the animals as a flock and a shepherd who tends them. The Animals has been described as an environmental bible, a manual of inspiration for people who are working to nourish and heal the Earth.

<p>Seeking enlightenment and a satchel full of laughs to boot? How about a visit to the Oasis of Aromatherapeutic Happiness, or the House of the Paunchy Gnome, or the fabulous Colossus of Dershowitz? These are among the mind-boggling landmarks documented in Richard Grossman's pilgrimage to discover the soul of America by walking the Los Angeles bike path that extends north through Redondo, Hermosa, Manhattan Beach, the penal colony of El Segundo, Playa and Marina del Rey, Venice, the holy city of Santa Monica, and ultimately reaches the celebrity precincts of Malibu.&#157; A raucous turn on the poet Basho's seventeenth-century journey to the wilds of Japan, this tongue-in-cheek photo-journal, with 46 jewel-like haiku poems, is loaded with comedic detail, sophisticated satire, and uproarious cultural commentary. A travelogue like no other!</p>
