Robert Mercier : Reimagining Eden

Who do we think we are?
In a world teetering on the brink of ecological thresholds, REIMAGINING EDEN emerges as a clarion call to envision a new era -- The Symbiocene. This thought-provoking collection of poems not only navigates through the tumultuous landscapes sculpted by human influence but also seeks solace in the possibility of symbiosis between humanity and nature.

Within these pages, readers are invited to embark on a journey that traverses desolation yet always carries within it seeds of hope. As humanity stands at this crucial juncture, these verses serve as poignant reflections on our shared responsibility and potential for forging sustainable futures.

REIMAGINING EDEN offers more than mere contemplation; it is an ode to resilience, urging us towards harmonious coexistence with Earth. These poems breathe life into visions where human actions align with Earth's rhythms -- harboring regenerative whispers calling forth from beneath cracked pavements toward lush horizons yet unclaimed.

Let each poem resonate as an echo -- a reverberation from today carrying timeless truths into tomorrow. We stand at the threshold; may this book inspire both introspection and action towards shaping an enduring legacy for generations to follow.
