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.”
