Soul of the Earth is an anthology of poetry to inspire hope in humanity. Beautifully crafted, yet challenging received wisdom and pushing boundaries, these are cutting-edge poems from a new generation of writers who share a love of the Earth and haven’t given up on humans either. Vivid, contemporary voices that dare to explore a spiritual dimension to life on Earth and, in doing so, imply that a way out of our global crisis of ecological breakdown, financial meltdown, and bankruptcy of the spirit is to look beyond the impasse of materialism. With contributions from poets in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, this anthology reaches out across the planet to embrace the challenges and blessings of being alive on the Earth in the twenty-first century.

SPLAB LIVING ROOM features Peter Pereira

Poetry Reading/Discussion

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010 – 7:00PM

Come hear physician-poet Peter Pereira read new poems exploring the history of medicine. Drawn from the life stories of famous and infamous physicians and scientists such as the humble Dutch cloth-maker who invented the microscope, the asthmatic French doctor who invented the stethoscope, the Alabama obstetrician who perfected his surgical technique operating on slaves, and more. These people changed the way we understand the body, health, disease, recovery, and the doctor-patient relationship.

Reading followed by discussion. Please bring a poem and copies to share. Hosted by SPLAB Living Room in Columbia City. Supported in part by an Individual Artists Grant from the City of Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs.
