Synopsis

When Mine Canaries Stop Singing is a lyrical warning for us to take better care of the Earth and all of her species or find ourselves in the extinction category. This poetry collection is centered around what we have failed to do, but also what we still could do to improve our prospects, reduce our carbon footprint, and extend life in all its glorious forms.

The poems in this collection also offer a window to the diversity of life and extraordinary creatures on our Blue Planet from Mayflies, Peacock spiders, and sunset moths of Madagascar; to industrious beavers and diving ospreys; to transparent hydroid jellyfish, star-nosed moles, and nearly indestructible tiny Tardigrades.

While a clear warning about our too rapidly heating planet, When Mine Canaries Stop Singing is also a testament to the singular beauty of this place in space where hope resides: in our ability to create solutions in our home "Halfway Between Center and Edge, in a Galaxy Called the Milky Way."
