Poetry Reading: Rob Lewis
sharing selections from
The Silence of Vanishing Things
Sunday, May 12, 5pm

About the author: Rob Lewis is a poet by conviction and a house painter by trade, working to bring the power of language to the defense of the natural world. His writings have been published in Dark Mountain, Cascadia Weekly, Manzanita, Atlanta Review, Southern Review and others. As owner of Earth Craft Painting he also works to revive the use of local wild clays to paint our work and living spaces. 

The Silence of Vanishing Things suggests an over-reliance on scientific terms and concepts is quietly undermining our ability to come to grips with the climate and extinction crises. Through three essays and sixty four poems it calls for a shift to a simpler, more reverential narrative to help break the silence and engage the human spirit in the fight of our time. Whether facing down Arctic drilling rigs from kayaks, exploring the role of poetry in the conservation effort, or delving into the ominous origins of the word “environment,” The Silence of Vanishing Things heralds a new narrative for the earth.

This event is ​free & open to the public. Immediately following the reading, the author will be available to greet visitors and sign copies of The Silence of Vanishing Things.
