Washington DC Author Publishes New Vision of the Human Mind

Word, a new book by Ergo Terra Ngamin, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

The pandemic and self-quarantining of 2020 caused Ergo Terra Ngamin to reflect on themselves and their mental and emotional states. At the same time, this introspection gave them a more analytical mind and an all-encompassing but focused and open-minded curiosity. With this, Ngamin began to research and understand the two-sidedness, contradictions, and balance within the human existence. Love and hatred, conscience and neurosis. In politics, Democrat and Republican and Independent. And life, death, and enlightenment.

Written in the original language, Itawit, WORD is a translation by a native speaker of Itawit and a native of American English. A genre completely of its own, WORD combines fiction, prayer, poetry, and belief systems with historical and scientific explanations. It is a descriptive analysis into a journey of cruelty, compassion, empathy, and understanding the human psyche and condition through the lens of religion, science, and reason.
