048 A Song for the Earth

Lynn Kratzberg & Jessica Gordon Season 2 Episode 48

What if poetry could help us see the Earth — and ourselves — in a new way? This week, we sit down with author Shannon Jade to talk about her powerful new book, A Song for the Earth. Through poetry and story, Shannon takes us on a journey across Earth’s biomes — from forests and oceans to cityscapes — capturing both the beauty of our planet and the urgency of protecting it. We talk about the inspiration behind her words, the role of art in climate action, and how poetry can move us from heartbreak to hope. If you’ve ever wondered how creativity and activism intertwine, this conversation will leave you inspired to raise your own voice for the Earth.
