DESCRIPTION
"In this era with seven quickly becoming eight billion of us hoping to survive on Earth, as scientific research and development, community resilience, and social justice progress, so do they retool awareness and rewrite working paradigms--on this terrain, the prose poems in Sea-Level Nervespeak symphonically and resonate ecologically as they explore what we collectively find through ecological perspectives with an eye toward the emerging future." -- James Grabill, July 21, 2014
PRAISE FOR
"I know of no other poet who has addressed climate change as powerfully and persistently as James Grabill. In Sea-Level Nerve: Book One, the urgency of our greatest challenge is perhaps more audible. In Book Two, Grabill shatters every conceivable divide we have become so comfortable with."
