Stormwash: Climate Awareness – climate conscious poems as spoken word with expressive dance accompaniment

Tony Brewer, April Ridge, Zilia Balkansky-Sellés, Peter Kaczmarczyk, Ray Zdonek, Lara Tokarski, Walter Biskupski, Jonathan S Baker, and Arizona will perform climate conscious poems as spoken word with expressive dance accompaniment by Erin Strole, Joanne Shank, Maxime Werk, Corinne Jones, Kay Olges, KaraLynn Hayes, and Nonie Daniels. Percussionist Julian Douglas will provide musical interludes.

In the forthcoming Stormwash: Environmental Poems anthology (The Grind Stone, April 2024), 40 poets address the climate crisis and its various effects. From the editor’s Foreword:

“Invariably, these poems suggest an uncanny attunement with nature: Something in the air, a shift in carbon molecules foreshadowing an ominous onslaught, an accumulating avalanche, some kind of storm—the stink of destruction. In either case, these poems enable us to hope that the survival of future generations is not so tenuous after all.”
