1119: A Black Doe in the Anthropocene by Artress Bethany White The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

    • 表演

Today’s poem is A Black Doe in the Anthropocene by Artress Bethany White.

The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Here is my ignorance; I thought we settled the matter of the “Anthropocene” a long time ago. Isn’t there enough conclusive evidence? Wars, loss of biodiversity, overpopulation, endangered species, deforestation, earth warming, greenhouse gasses, the production of nonbiodegradable materials, nuclear waste that further threatens wildlife, human beings, and agricultural lands. But, as one scientist noted, “Human impact goes much deeper into geological time.””
