The Precipice follows from my previous works, Behind the Facade and Rise. This work finds itself at the place in which the world now collectively holds its breath as we try to overcome the existential threats currently facing humanity. However, the threats of climate change and nuclear war have a common underlying cause: rising inequality.
In this context, inequality is, at its core, the battle of people over profit. Extreme wealth is growing to become an unaccountable governing power (as money transforms into power) around the world and, as such, becomes a threat to the world. It’s time to get political, for people to participate in the debate, to examine where we stand, and decide what kind of future world we want. In short, it is time for some deep reflection. These conversations help inform public opinion that, in turn, has the power to guide government policy. A government is nothing without the support of the people.

 |
Camille Barr is an Australian poet who writes profoundly about how the world works, unveiling the truth of human nature. With little time for romanticism, Camille delves into the darkness we try to deny. The Precipice is the final piece in a series of three collections that have explored the ideas of philosophy and politics.
As well as the anthologies I Can’t Breathe: A Poetic Anthology of FRESH AIR (Black Lives Matter themes), and Musings During a Time of Pandemic: A World Anthology of Poems on COVID-19, Camille is also published in the Cross-Currents bilingual anthology published by the Universitatea de Vest din Timi?oara, Romanian, and Correnti Incrociate (‘Cross-Currents’), Italia.
With steely determination, Camille Barr confronts us with unwavering truths in a time when it is safer to lie. Her poetry is most notable for the grit and elegance that offers readers a respite from the bullshit and, as such, inspires the desire for real change.
