Poet and non-fiction author.

I write about the future of healthcare, climate change . . . and Climate Cat.

My book, "The Crisis is Here: The Complete Guide to Protecting Your Health in a Changing World" will be published Fall 2025.

How hard can it be?

The choice is ours: to gnaw at the carcass of a world undone, or to craft, even yet, a sustenance worthy of generations to come.

The Tunaturducken, a broader reflection on our age of peril.

A turkey, proud and puffed with fanlike feathers; a duck, sleek and smooth as it sails upon the water like Shelley on the Arno; a chicken, homely, industrious, clucking an eternal warning; a tuna, glistening from the deep.

What if we took the drinking water used to cool the AI data centers, and used it to cool the nuclear reactors powering the AI data centers, then bottled it as "Aesthetic Water"?

The Carbon Goddess (looking suspiciously like Jane Morris) wants to know.

Doesn't every house have a Peacock Room?

Do the juvenile or immature librarians feel excluded?

Nothing says irrational exuberance like a young librarian.

How bootifull and how truetowife of her, when strengly forebidden, to steal our historic presents from the past postpropheticals so as to will make us all lordy heirs and ladymaidesses of a pretty nice kettle of fruit.

We're in the CO2 is good for plants and planets stage.

Since carbon is good and oxygen is good, why can't they be doubly good together?

4. Arts and Crafts

When industry gave them cheap chairs and cheaper souls, Morris gave them carved oak, garden vines, and poetry in wallpaper.

When cities filled with uniform bricks and choking fog, some dreamed cottages with mullioned windows and hearths that hummed with human touch.

3. The City of Dreadful Night

I reached the portal common spirits fear,

And read the words above it, dark yet clear,

"Leave hope behind, all ye who enter here:"

And would have passed in, gratified to gain

That positive eternity of pain
Instead of this insufferable inane.

Liberty passing the torch to Climate Cat.

But he's been sucked into a loop of Victorian paintings and the music of Swinburne’s poetry.

Now he draws energy from mastodon cities of data centers.

Hulking behemoths of the Golden Dawn, chewing through electrons like artisanal pasta from Trader Joe's.
