If We Are Erased Volume V

In her 5th volume of evolutionary creatures, Corinne Whitaker uses the metaphors of birth and transformation to create her personal Origin of the New Species. She joins authors Thomas Wolfe, who said "I am inevitable" and Walt Whitman, who wrote "I contain multitudes" to ponder the Why of We. In Whitaker's words, "I cast the light of my soul upon the human condition. If we exist as more than a flicker in the flame of existence, then you, and I, and all of life, are indeed inevitable."
