A presentation by Dan Kowalski
Fostering a Sense of Place boils down to coming into relationship with where we live. The best qualities of being human come to play: a sense of curiosity, discovery, aesthetics, stewardship, deepening knowledge–love. Home can scale anywhere from a neighborhood all the way out to Planet Earth. My focus is our Cascadia bioregion. Together we’ll explore aspects of our bioregion with a particular emphasis on Alaskan glaciers.
Kathryn Keve will present her book, Under the Sun, a book about how beautiful and precious the Earth is and ends with the question: what can we do to stop the plunder?
The book will be available at Eagle Harbor Books from April 22-25. Kathryn will be at Eagle Harbor Books from 5-7 pm on Friday April 22.

Janet Norman Knox’s performance prose poem, Artifact Pattern, examines the Alaskan Way Viaduct as a way to observe humanity’s take on climate change. In collaboration with musician Tom McDonald, Knox uses the humor and heaviness of a viaduct and climate in flux to weigh in on what both tell us about ourselves. Built on giant carbon feet, the viaduct’s very cement is a massive carbon sink. The viaduct is our Roman aqueduct, sending carbon like water to quench the empire’s power thirst. The viaduct is lodged in geologic history like a receding glacier. It occupies the same footprint as the fingers of glaciers that retreated, dropping their erratics, sands, and gravels. There are many facts to connect and our very human brains want to recognize the patterns in poetry, in music, in the quandaries of a society speeding headlong into an uncertainty where we may find ourselves.
