Book Description
Waking Up to the Earth, edited by Connecticut's Poet Laureate Margaret Gibson, is an anthology of poems by Connecticut poets who write of their relationships with the earth in a time of global climate crisis. The scope of the poems goes far beyond Connecticut to the whole ecosystem we humans share. With praise and wonder, and sometimes with grief or anger, the poems in this collection pay close attention to our planet and its inhabitants, its forests and oceans, its creatures: turtles and dung beetles, bats and bobcats, oak trees, orchards, and rivers. In a time of climate crisis, the poems in this anthology ask everyone to wake up to the earth, and to cherish it.

Book Description
With The Glass Globe, celebrated poet Margaret Gibson completes a trilogy distinguished by its meditative focus on the author’s experience of her late husband’s Alzheimer’s disease. In this new collection, she blends elegies of personal bereavement with elegies for the earth during the ongoing global crisis wrought by climate change. Gibson’s poems personalize the vastness of climate catastrophe while simultaneously enlarging personal grief beyond the limits of self-absorption. A work of great compassion and vision, The Glass Globe is a necessary, heartbreaking book from one of our most compelling poets.

Book Description
"Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations." - Henry David Thoreau Poems on death, grief, and gratitude, dedicated to the memory of MaryAnne Siok. Reflecting on the sudden loss of a close friend, author Jen Payne returns, as she does in her past books LOOK UP! and Evidence of Flossing, to the solace of nature. On the opening pages, she allows the poet Rilke to remind the reader "Through the empty branches the sky remains. It is what you have. Be earth now, and evensong. Be the ground lying under that sky." Written from the shoreline of Connecticut and the wide and windswept beaches of Cape Cod, this book is an intimate look at life transitions and how we cope with the unexpected.

Book Description
In poems inspired by artwork, D. Walsh Gilbert takes the reader on a journey that winds its way through life's obstacles toward freedom and empowerment. Fish and birds, creatures that move through elements that aren't completely hospitable to humans, are represented in stunning artwork by such artists as Picasso, Van Gogh, Renoir, and others.

Book Description
This is our 2nd book of poems about 'climate change'. A considerable part of my introduction to the 1st book was devoted to Trump's shocking promises at the beginning of his presidency. Three years later, we see how the environmental crimes perpetrated by his administration (and supported by the Republican Party, which has long questioned climate science and protected polluting industries from regulation) have further destabilized the environment and sabotaged the efforts of those working to curb the climate crisis.US President Donald Trump, his friends and fellow Republicans, and the many other Trump-like characters who lead governments and industrial conglomerates around the world, think that global warming is not that great problem: the good regulations to protect the environment, are the real problem, because incrementing coal and petroleum extraction is their priority. History will remember them: to indulge their greed, they will have made the future of the planet -and that of hundreds of millions of people- even more in danger.Sadly, too many of us do not realize that, even if we cut greenhouse gas emissions dramatically NOW, their effects will continue because it takes greenhouse gases decades to be removed from the atmosphere. This is what Science says. Yet, just follow social media to realize how widespread climate denial is!A positive note comes from the young: following in the footsteps of Greta Thunberg, millions of young climate activists have started a peaceful 'green revolution'. But.. will they have time to make it happen? One thing is certain: the outcome of November 2020 US elections will be crucial for the planet: the defeat of Trump and the Republican Party is the only hope left to stop climate change before it is too late.Our stupidity has already caused huge damage to Earth. The damage will become immense if we do not wake up quickly from the sleep of reason.

Book Description
The instant New York Times Bestseller • Nominated for the 2019 National Book Award for Fiction “A lyrical work of self-discovery that’s shockingly intimate and insistently universal…Not so much briefly gorgeous as permanently stunning.” —Ron Charles, The Washington Post Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one’s own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard. With stunning urgency and grace, Ocean Vuong writes of people caught between disparate worlds, and asks how we heal and rescue one another without forsaking who we are. The question of how to survive, and how to make of it a kind of joy, powers the most important debut novel of many years. Named a Best Book of the Year by: GQ, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, Library Journal, TIME, Esquire, The Washington Post, Apple, Good Housekeeping, The New Yorker, The New York Public Library, Elle.com, The Guardian, The A.V. Club, NPR, Lithub, Entertainment Weekly, Vogue.com, The San Francisco Chronicle, Mother Jones, Vanity Fair, The Wall Street Journal Magazine and more!

Book Description
In this timely and moving collection of poems, Sarah P. Strong explores what it means to live in a world undergoing an irrevocable transformation, the magnitude of which we barely comprehend. A broad range of perspectives shows us different times and places on Earth while unfolding the cyclical nature of human denial and response. A series of linked persona poems about the Dust Bowl recounts the destruction of the Great Plains and how human dreams of plenty destroyed the ancient fertility and stability of the land, how heartbreak and denial contended with bureaucratic insolence. In an imagined view of our planet as it might appear millennia from now, the Earth is "a worry stone / in the pocket of space, or a mood ring / on the finger of a newly minted / god." The Mouth of Earth serves as both a survival guide for those seeking connection with our planet and one another as well as a compassionate tribute to what we have lost or are losing—the human consequences of such destruction in a time of climate crisis and lost connectivity. Strong’s powerful poems offer us, if not consolation, at least a way toward comprehension in an age of loss, revealing both our ongoing denial of our planet’s fragility and the compelling urgency of our hunger for connection with all life.
