Poetry to Save the Whales


Book Description

When I decided to write"The Night is Falling, But it is only the beginning" I wanted to advocate for the whales so that my readers will become a voice for them. I have no doubt that the safeguard this precious species is an urgent and continuous commitment to make. "The night is falling, But it is Only the Morning" is portraying the innocence of the whales which are being slaughtered by commercial fishermen while there is no serious laws to protect them. This poetry book is therefore a call for an enforced moratorium on commercial whaling knowing that thousands of whales are being slaughtered. The title "The Night is Falling, But it is Only the Beginning" is also a symbolic message to the decision makers of the world so that we understand that when the night falls for the whales, by this I mean, if the we exterminate the whales, the night will fall as well for humankind since in the end all species are connected through the cycle of life. The whales have been slaughtered way too much. It is high time that we joined the effort of the many who are leading the battle to save the whales. May this book of poetry be an encouragement to the whale rights advocates.On the fifth day of the creation, God made the whales. They were made before the humans; let them be tthere after the humans. Let not the night fall for them; let not a morning of hardship begin for humankind."The Night is Falling, But it is Only the Morning" is an awareness call for all humankind... A world without whales would be a sad world indeed.

Whale Fall: Poems


Book Description

“The craft of Whale Fall defies. It asserts, for me, a definition of poetry: an unbearable gulf of feeling made indelible by form.”—Diane Seuss, Paris Review A masterful and moving new volume from a “peerless poet of the natural world” (New York Times Book Review). Acclaimed as an essential voice of the American Midwest, David Baker expands both his environment and his form in his eleventh collection. Whale Fall is about time, measured in the wingbeats of a hummingbird or the epochs of geological change, and about place, whether a backyard in Ohio or the slopes of a melting glacier. In the exquisite, musical title poem, a deft hybrid of eco-poetic alarm and intimate narrative, Baker transports us to the deep sea as a single gray whale carcass falls, decays, and is reinhabited by a cosmos of teeming lives. Among the strands of ocean health, microplastics, and related calamities of human disregard, the poet weaves in a personal story of chronic illness. The result is a stirring, confident work, astonishing in its emotional acuity and lyric range. Each poem in Whale Fall is an echolocation, emitting its music to situate itself among others in the vastness of the world. Amidst climate change and catastrophe, as amidst a blooming viburnum or a viral disease, these poems send their songs across empty spaces of a line, a page, or a continent, to see who is out there, moving in the depths of being.
