New Books for Gary Geddes and Ann Eriksson
Tuesday, January 25, 2022 at 8:45AM Thetis Island writers Gary Geddes and Ann Eriksson both have new books out. Gary's book of four previously published long poems, The Ventriloquist, is a scathing indictment of war and its ravages, and a testament to the power of poetic narrative. It can be ordered through Rocks Mills Press.
Urgent Message from a Hot Planet: Navigating the Climate Crisis is Ann's third ecological literacy book for younger readers published by Orca Book Publishers. For readers 12 years and up, Urgent Message looks at the science behind global heating and its impacts, illuminates its root causes, provides achievable solutions and shares examples of how people are learning to exist on finite planet Earth. It honours the efforts of the millions of youth and adults from around the world who are working tirelessly to make a difference. Elizabeth May, Federal Green Party MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands, calls the book 'a toolbox for hope.' It's available in paperback or digital formats through your favourite bookseller.
