Description
Reveille by Michael Nipert
Reveille, a bugle at dawn to awaken to a new day, is a call to all for empathy, pluralistic freedom, and intellectual action in a time of mental conformity and moral contraction. It begins at dusk with the Broken Thread. Each of these poems looks at how the cultural fabric is beginning to unravel. The second chapter of the narrative, Drumbeats, is a response to a kind of dark night of the soul where a binary split has driven people apart, and dehumanization, power, and war eclipse our precious consciousness.
The Rising Light, the third chapter of>Reveille, is the dawn to the light of day, blessing and liberating through the experience of grace, compassion, beauty, and a host of other insights that create an expansion into a vision of our spirituality and humanity. Oneness, the final chapter of the book, reflects a simultaneous emphasis on the unique and creative qualities of the individual as well as a call for the unity of all people, the planet, and beyond.
