Leading poet and activist John Kinsella brings together a major international collection of contemporary and historical poetry that speaks to the rights and welfare of animals. This is a unique anthology of poetry based around all non-human animal life, with the welfare and rights of animals at the forefront. The collection includes over forty commissioned poems, and also other poems provided by poets specifically for the anthology, set against an historical context of animal-referencing poems that range in time from ancient Greece to the 21st century. With poems from some sixteen countries, and from many different cultural perspectives, this is a collective utterance that also respects and conserves different perspectives. At all times, animals are at the fore, be they invertebrates, bird, mammal, reptile, amphibian, or fish.  In our time of human-induced mass extinctions and rapid human-induced climate change, this subject could not be more vital to read about and to teach.
