Catherine reads 2 poems, Lost at Sea and At a Loss from her poetry collection Geosmin
Lost at Sea considers how coal has given us light, heat, electricity, clothing, medicines-but it is fossil fuel, sunshine stored in carbon, and it has been the major contributor to climate change, which in turn leads to glacial melt and sea level rise.
At al Loss refers to “at al loss for words” for the amazement of the living lad here in Southwest Wisconsin and concern for what we could lose. The word Migizi- at the end of the poems is the Anishinabenowin word for bald eagle. Migizi flies at dawn to see if humans remember to greet the day so that the world may continue. And canon refers to a song round that wraps round and round.
