EARTH POETRY with Stephen Wing

I am available for a special reading of poems that celebrate the Earth and our relationship to Nature, mourn the ongoing destruction of the ecosphere, and inspire listeners to take better care of our mutual Mother. The performance can be tailored to any age or interest group, and can vary in emphasis from the pastoral to the political. I include practical suggestions for concrete actions we can take in daily life to protect and preserve the Earth.

Crossing the Expressway:
Poems from the Open Road

(Dolphins & Orchids, 2001)

These “poems from the open road” are the Pilgrim’s Progress of a road devotee, written throughout my 100,000-mile hitchhiking odyssey from 1974 to 1990, when I met my next teacher (and married her). I introduce the poems with a short essay on contemporary foot-travel in the U.S.A., and illustrate them with “found art” from the highwayside — random objects flattened and transformed by passing traffic, crayon rubbings of scraps of tiretread.

"This is an ambitious book of poetry, beautifully produced . . . It is refreshing to come across a poet of this caliber and ability to communicate." —New Thought Journal. "I am particularly impressed with the way you address political and moral issues without the poetry being formulaic or hackneyed." —Lane Young. "Wing’s voice is lyrical, original, and above all, truthful." —John Dennis.
