Ecology needs new buzz words, fiercely motivating, to turn public attention toward mindful mending.

Poetry: a gift of place, mood, and vision for a cold wet night, from Russian Hill, San Francisco. "The poems start by looking outward, but as they are read, the listener is taken deeper into Russian Hill's tiny byways, its history, its rumbling and grumbling cable car tracks, and, ultimately, deep into the poet's mind. 'The view outward opens each mind to itself, then the hill becomes an ark of inward exploration,' Blotnick says." (Sandra Ann Harris, San Francisco Chronicle)
