Salt and Ashes
Poems by
Songs are living ghosts of the breath
of the dead and can be intoxicating
– from “Ghost Poem”
There’s a cost, you know,
to erasing information
– from “No thought, best thought”
I grow thin in the dark matter
that torques the arms
of the galaxy and spews forth
particles of light like foam
on the crest of an ocean wave.
– from “Backbone of the Night”
Teach me the rules
you learned as a child
and how a switch cut
from witch hazel is a lesson
in pain and power.
– from “Witch Hazel Song”
Standing on High Ground
Civil Disobedience on Burnaby Mountain
Edited by Rosemary Cornell, Adrienne Drobnies and Tim Bray
Hundreds of people were arrested non-violently resisting the “TMX” Trans Mountain pipeline project. Standing on High Ground: Civil Disobedience on Burnaby Mountain includes twenty-five stories of people who put themselves on the line for climate justice. The book showcases Indigenous leaders, academics, faith leaders, political leaders, engineers, artists and writers, scientists, physicians, and ordinary folk from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Their reflections on the protests and their arrests explore our moral duty to future generations, government’s collusion with corporate power, the violation of Indigenous Law, and unsustainable worldviews. Climate activists in protest movements such as the one against the TMX pipeline are critical in the existential fight for a sustainable future and habitable planet. They show us that we can all take a stand.
