Produktbeschreibung
Resonance-A small vibration at the right frequency that creates a larger vibration. Earth Resonance is a collection of Sam Love's environmental poetry. These accessible poems do not simply bemoan the state of melting glaciers, stranded polar bears, or sizzling summer temperatures, but instead give the reader an in-depth autopsy of our culture's footprint on the natural world, with humility and a dash of humor. The subjects range from meditations on Mother Earth to the changes in migratory patterns caused by climate change. Far from a doom and gloom portrait of the contemporary environmental crisis, Earth Resonance has some fun with everything from imagining the craziness of shipping bottled water 6,000 miles to how bacteria evolving for a counterattack must be laughing at us-the humans who think we hold dominion over them. As you read this celebration of holistic thinking and planetary consciousness, you will never look the same way at a plastic bag bouncing across the urban landscape. Who knows, you might even be compelled to ride your bike to work or at least remember to turn off the water while you're brushing those pearly whites.

He was a founding editor of the successor group's magazine Environmental Action and served as Coordinator of the organization which worked to transform the momentum created by Earth Day into legislative changes. Over the years he published numerous articles in mass circulation magazines including Washingtonian and Smithsonian. Fly on the Wall Press in Manchester, England published his chapbook Awakening: Musings on Planetary Survival. His poetry collection exploring cracks in our culture, Cogitation, is available from Unsolicited Press and his self-published illustrated children's book My Little Plastic Bag has won numerous awards including a Nautilus Book Award. It is available in Spanish and English. His poems have appeared in Kakalak, Slippery Elm, Voices on the Wind, The Lyricist, Flying South, Sleet, and other publications.
