Frederick Livingston- Trees are Bridges to the Sky: Poems

Can poetry evolve culture in service of a wounded Earth? Join ecologist, educator, and award-winning author Frederick Livingston for an evening exploring how the metaphors we inhabit shape the futures available to us. Whether you are a poet, human, or tree, you are sure to leave with seeds of evolution.

Are humans parasites, sowing our own hunger

or fruit, gifts from Earth to our future?

Is the edge of our lives, civilization, and species

a cliff to catastrophe, or a bridge to transformation?

Our future begins with seeds we sow in this moment.

Frederick Livingston is a spoken word ecologist grown beside the Salish Sea. Experiential education and peacebuilding have taken him from WWU's school of environment to Peace Corps Tanzania, the UN's University for Peace, and beyond. He has authored two science and poetry books and won the Prism Prize for Climate Literature. More info at fredericklivingston.com
