“Kite Weather” by Carlos Monteagudo (Oil on Canvas)
“I choose to be part of SolarNation because I believe that as much as we have damaged the earth, within our words, our art and our actions we will find our inherent power to heal it.”
THE ANGRY SKY
by Claudine Nash
We went as far as
the car would take us,
but couldn’t slip
past the sky’s
rage. The trees
tossed blame at
each turn and the
bird’s four-letter
rant made our
ears blush.
It would break
your heart to hear
the tidal flats holler
(never mind what
the salt marshes
echoed).
Meanwhile, the
North Sea endured
such a bad acid
stomach,
all it could do
was spit carbon.
