This is the fifth book of published poetry by Douglas W Anderson. It is written in two parts. The first part is poems reflecting his observations about human interactions. He writes about perspectives, usually from a different point of view than some might observe. These include politics, empathy, the law, inductive reasoning, language use, migration patterns, thresholds of ideas, fate, and remembrance. The second part includes poems that are directed toward and compliment his longer poem, The Manifest Nature of War. The causes are Culture, Religion, Reproduction Availability and Fitness, and Acquisition or Confiscation of Needed Assets. These four reasons are many times intertwined and serve as structural parts of the multifactorial causation patterns of war. Anderson’s poems are imbued with common sense. Some are lyrical, some border on social commentary, all are humanistic in expression. They are intuitive in nature. His poems on war are conceived from a deep conviction and realization about who we are on this planet. We need to change as a species so we may survive long into the future. Anderson does not offer possible future hope as contained in the lineage of famous poets, but instead tells us we need to actively confront the True Believer who espouses words as truth when they are in fact seeking power with propaganda. He tells us to think and act for ourselves with our full reasoning powers. Anderson writes with a shifting perspective toward entering into the Anthropocene Era and leaving the Anthropomorphic Era behind. He uses his historical perspective applying the important causality factors, focusing on dilemmas of this modern era we must solve within ourselves and in relation to one another. His historical and scientific knowledge speaks to us to look beyond the Kepler Telescope out into the Universe and behold the mystery. Our species-evolved images of God were always about the unknown.
