This uncompromising book of poems attempts to raise an alarm. A moral and environmental alarm. Beyond the obvious climate change challenges there are the ageless, well known threats such as racism, tyranny and inequality. The absurd disparity of lifestyles is widening and destructive. In today's world things move faster. The world is smaller and more dangerous. Individuals will have to make hard choices and poetry can help clarify the possibilities. At least that is the intention of this poet.
