Overview
The Animals is a literary work of immense ambition, an intricate spiritual and philosophical guide that affirms the beauty and holiness of nature and the quintessential unity of all life. Consisting of 400 poems, this environmental bible is set in a mythical field where a shepherd engages in a series of discussions on a wide range of issues, both practical and mystical, with his flock of 200 different creatures ranging from an amoeba to a whale. Additionally, each animal tells its own intimate story in its own unique voice to the assembled group.
At the end, the shepherd dies and is resurrected. In the final 35 poems he relates his first-hand experience with mortality and eternity.
