Tuesday's post (Sept. 17) will be by writer, teacher, and monster fish enthusiast Mark Spitzer. To get you started, I'll quote some of his forthcoming book Investigative Creative Writing: Teaching and Practice:
“I kept on studying environmental subject matter until eventually I was teaching it – which, I’ve realized, might be the most important thing I can do on this planet. Because our planet is in severe decline. The ice caps are melting and the experts agree that we won’t have this global cooling device in a century. Climate change, carbon dioxide, and acidification are taking their toll, so if we don’t do something soon, we could lose this platform we take for granted – a point I make because I’m scared of what we have to lose. I’ve made a study of what our greed and ignorance is doing to this planet, and I can see the direction we’re going in. Because of that, I’m committed to doing as much as I can to preserve and patch what we have left through the influence I can have via my writing and teaching of writing.” Tuesday, Mark offers some thoughts on climate communication.

I'm a writer & teacher in Lawrence, Kansas who actually believes the scientists. I wrote a book of poems called Of Some Sky that seems to have something to do with all this. |
