Is it possible to approach, with a straight face, the question of what it means to be human? We are the only animals capable of sitting around and thinking of such things, capable of laughing at ourselves, capable of making comparisons and formulating generalizations about our species. Consider this collection of poems a mirror that reflects our human nature--without make-up and hair gel, tweezed eyebrows and a fresh shave. It is glorious to be human. It's also humbling.
