Extinction: Poems

Extinction by Geza Tatrallyay is a collection of poems and haikus inspired by our relationship with our planet and nature. Within the collection the author paints a gloomy and realistic picture of how mankind has mistreated the planet and what is in store for us because of the damage we have done. The book is divided in three sections: The World Species and Personal. Although these sections are three points of view I felt they all focused on how we have affected our planet. The last section shows more of the authors own life experience yet I felt that it also spoke of the effects that we as a species have on our world. Through this premise the author explores the dark side with works like Haiku: eons ago melting Polar Ice Cap and Extinction among others. Through his words readers will visit a world that is losing hope as mankind looks the other way instead of changing their ways. Geza Tatrallyays voice is unique in the sense that it somehow manages to take readers though this hopeless world of impending death of the planet and yet inspire our sense of humanity. It calls for us to stop being witness and begin being active in nourishing our hurting planet. Extinction is Tatrallyays third collection of poetry published by P.R.A. Publishing.
