Published by Amherst-based Levellers Press,
Bad Atmosphere - A Collection of Poetry & Prose on the Climate Crisis
was published in November 2014. The author, local writer/poet Don
Ogden, is producer and co-host of The Enviro Show on WXOJ-LP/Valley Free
Radio. The book is the culmination
of decades’ worth of writing by Ogden focusing on various aspects of
climate change that moved him to put into words feelings and thoughts
evoked by "the greatest crisis of our time". Ogden, known by many as
d.o., has been active in environmental issues for
most of his life. His poetry and commentaries have appeared in a wide
variety of publications and on national and local radio.
Joining the celebration are local
singer/songwriters Tom Neilson and Lynn Waldron, as well as Susan
Theberge of Climate Action Now! MA, who will speak about that local
group's efforts
in addressing the climate crisis.
Free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Janet Ryan at 413/259-3223.
