the (lincoln) zoo

What happened to art? Art is everywhere, yet in our current lives it seemsto have slipped through the cracks of what has been deemed progress.The perception of a void Nebraska provides its residents the uncommonchance to be part of a community that is self-defined and unaffiliated withoutside surveillance. It frees them, letting the individual be whoever theywant, and gives them the open eyed chance to write about the world fromwhat seems like the middle of nowhere and find peace in that.Though it may appear to be trapped in a cultural stand still; it is not. Thereality of this place is one filled with vast artistic voices that penetrate to thecore. This book explores a sense of truth from Lincolnites and gives itsauthors the opportunity to show off their capabilities in translating reality.These are human minds making a valiant attempt at understanding theirenvironment (nature/the world around them/the people in it). It produces amachine gun of thoughtful words and ideals that stimulate the mind.People who emancipate themselves from the chains of expectation in oursociety, or any society, put an emphasis on the human spirit once more. Ithappens everywhere and it happens every single day. This is somethingwhich can become easily overlooked, it is about the importance of coming toterms with an understanding of our time, with the people in our time. Thisbook presents ideas, from authors who resonate their own clarity separatefrom Nebraska's perceived archaic inheritance.the (lincoln) zoo challenges any reader to find themselves by steppingoutside the falsification of definition, to be heard in the silence.We are anecho of the longing to be ourselves without consequence.We're setting the zoo free.
