Elephant Wisdom: Poetry on Science, Religion, Division, and Loss M Gail Grant

Elephant Wisdom is a poetry collection that explores topics equivalent to "the elephant in the middle of the room." In other words, through a variety of poetic forms, utilizing a combination of free-verse, narrative, and rhythmic components, the poems encourage readers to broaden their minds and consider connections between science and religion while introducing the paradox of collective consciousness and universal forces. Unfortunately, loss is a topic that humanity has difficulty addressing with their friends and loved ones, leaving a significant lack of support for those who have or are currently experiencing grief. Elephant Wisdom addresses this gap of communal support through taboo themes such as infant death.
