A Chaos of Angels
Description:... "There Is No Gene For The Human Spirit." A clever tag from the 1992 film "Gattica" is a statement which each of us knows inherently to be true. If you've read the startling portrayal of a utopian society gone wrong in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932), you are acquainted with the author's prophetic predictions of a world addicted to chemically driven happiness. In a culture where biochemistry has become its own religion, spirituality is being replaced by serotonin manipulation and mood enhancement. These works delve into the very nature of what ails us and why a pill for spiritual pain just might not be the answer. Friends, family, ex-patients, doctors write about the dumbing down of the self and the fight to stay alive. The book offers a list of resources for alternative mental health. We hope these poems will help raise awareness about the true nature of man and the importance of the spirit as a source of healing. -The Editors
