Original poetry addressing the climate crisis. Introduction excerpt: In this time of Covid-19, there is an inevitable weaving together in our psyche, and hence our poetry, of the fears, frustrations and sense of urgency involved in the pandemic and the crisis of our changing climate. In both cases, humans have a collective responsibility to change, to adapt, to help, and to build a more resilient society. In Voices of the Earth: The Future of Our Planet II, the poets urge us to wake up, to pay attention and to hear what the earth is telling us. -Lauren Parmelee, Senior Director of Education, Audubon Society of Rhode Island Creator Who created this item?

In the photo, he is thick-necked and as sturdy as a five-hundred-year-old Spanish oak bureau in Michoacán, as heavy and unmoveable; Monarch butterflies rest all over his shirt and khakis. If you close your eyes, you can see them slowly close wings, barely moving air. You can see the darkness at the bottom of the well where they found him. In the photo, in spite of butterflies, he has no smile. Fully frontal, he confronts the camera as the industrial gaze: a choice to communicate with an unknown afar: and here I am en el norte, where in the shortening days of August the monarchs may chew thick leaves of milkweed and rest in butterfly weed, orange upon orange. Once, while a new farmer, I killed a caterpillar thinking it was a tomato hornworm. Green and yellow and black— I should have known better. I tried to feed it to the chickens, said to love hornworms, but they just looked at me strangely, that way they do. I am at the bottom of the well where they found him dead. One day the only orange to see may be the flowers I planted to feed the butterflies who no longer return, a banquet set to empty chairs. The one I killed might have been the mother of thousands. This is how I pretend to power: guilt is easier than helplessness. Date When was this created? Feb. 2020 Location Where was this item created?

Landscape of consumption I’m so tired of the faux facades of the “landscapes of consumption,” like this mall built to look like the village it supplanted (lights in second story windows with no rooms behind them illuminate only drapery and the parking lot); I’m so tired of being American, of this ‘we’ that keeps implicating me in all kinds of atrocities, in my insufficient resistance, in the insignificance of my concern; so tired of the facades splayed with brand names in elegant fonts of automated recognizance, of the logos and logoi and designs and reasons of consumption, the artistry of my people spent on storefronts and billboards, ads and special effects. I want to be unaffected: to resist, resist, resist the purchase. But the best of my people’s psychology, too, is employed to transgress my resistance, to subvert our sufficiency. We have had enough. II. Landscape of production As antidote to the trip to the mall to watch the movie to know what we have done with our history this time, I bike the landscape of production, weave the potholes of the parts of town no one goes to except to work, if necessary, and it’s always necessary for some. Then, as antidote to the engineered and treeless ‘neighborhoods’ (you might call them if the homes were close enough to see each other around the sewer treatment plant and oil tanks and adult establishments. Sure, I am adult too, and that is one of the few spaces off this street I am free to enter, but I can only imagine the discomfort of being ogled with questions by those poor shame-debilitated men having so much trouble getting to maturity), I leave my bike at the bridge, and walk upstream past the old mill to the unfilled wetlands, still unbuildable, so far. I find trees and breezes and the small wildlife we once took for granted, I think, though I don’t know who ‘we’ is here, either, certainly not us-as-children, when a pigeon’s iridescent neck would mesmerize, a squirrel would be welcome in the attic, and a robin a sign of something. I’m so tired of being American, of this ‘we’ that keeps implicating me in all kinds of atrocities, in my insufficient resistance, in the insignificance of my concern. Date When was this created? ? Location Where was this item created? The landscape of production is the old mills of west end of Providence, and the landscape of consumption image is a cutesy shopping center in South County.

Title What would you title this item? poem: Diptych: Landscape of Consumption, Landscape of Production Creator Who created this item? Karina Lutz Language A language of the resource English Description What is it all about? 'Landscape of consumption' and 'landscape of production' are sociological terms I learned from editing _Local Democracy under Siege: Activism, Public Interests, and Private Politics_ (New York University Press, 2007). A result of urban planning and zoning laws, landscapes of production (like factory districts) are developed distinct from landscapes of consumption (like strip malls). The starkness of the distinction can be easily ignored in a car, or when shopping online, but is unavoidable when bicycling across a city. The two types of landscapes reify a bifurcation of the economic self.

Awakening II With ease gentle bliss Willow's arms bear the mist Wakened peacefully With day's first hello Wake up bleak valley, bask in glory Wake up dark meadow Breath in brand new day Making its way Bursting through with pastel sky. Flowers sway Gently in the meadow Raise their heads To sip sunshine perched on limb A robin sings with glee Glad to be flying free Cloaked in light and gentle breeze Vibrant day's ecstasy Creatures feast On the lustrous fruits of the meadow Lively springs mirroring Phosphorescent glow ‘Til at last waving goodbye Light of day fades away Twilight sky sneaks in from the west Day's sun finally rests Willow's arms droop in silence Songbird longs for Another joyful jubilant tune Deer stands stoically Hoping to soon see the moon Distant stars still too far to see Make their way so leisurely Crimson sky though try with all its might Darkness wins the fight Yet in air still lingering Perfumed scents and Everlasting brilliance By Noreen Inglesi Date When was this created? 2020 Location Where was this item created?

The Woonasquatucket River Song VERSE 1 Working for our river To keep it clean. Someday we will fish again And we'll swim in the stream. REFRAIN Nineteen miles does it flow So much life in this river Telling stories of long ago A very special part of history. Verse 2 Hidden in its splendor Gently flowing through time. Winding steadily through our town. Marking traces left behind. BRIDGE We're cleaning that old river Giving back its glow. It won't be long before the water Sparkles as it flows. Verse 3 Working for our river Wading in water as it gleams. So many worked as one Sharing this great dream. Refrain Nineteen miles does it flow So much life in this river.

Lend A Hand (Song Lyrics) Verse 1 Lend a hand to your neighbor A smile to a friend Bask in the glory and never let it end. Time is such a treasure Taken for granted Like summer nights And whispering winds Whirling in a star filled sky Chorus: Suddenly the storm clouds pierce right through Darkness blankets crimson sky. Bursts of thunder lightning fill the air Rushing water everywhere. The streets soon look like rivers Joy quickly turns to despair Howling winds so deafening People need help to survive Verse 2 Lend a hand to build bridges For all to cross. Let’s work together Or all will be lost. Time is so precious This is the moment For joining hands will make us strong Lead us to a brand-new day. Chorus Listen well to the sparrow’s call Telling us of their plight Angry winds stronger hurricanes Make it hard for their flight. Give voice to all the weary They're all striving to survive. Sing our song for all to hear Let's keep our mission alive. Verse 3 Lend a hand for our future One dream at a time Let's work together And that mountain we will climb. We are all earths' voices All on one team Spreading hope for everyone Is how we'll succeed. We're earth's voices Working for our future. Lend a hand.
