An Earth Day book conversation and reading with renowned poet Ellen Bass. Hosted by Poetry on the Wharf, with Two Bird Books.

As climate disruption reshapes landscapes, politics, and daily life, a deeper question lingers beneath the headlines: How do we live fully, honestly, boldly - within this moment? Where do we turn for steadiness and imagination as we find our way forward?

On Earth Day, join climate leader Dr. Katharine K. Wilkinson (co-editor of All We Can Save) and celebrated poet Ellen Bass for readings and a conversation about Dr. Wilkinson’s new book, Climate Wayfinding: Healing Ourselves and the Planet We Call Home. 

Together, they will explore how we orient ourselves within a changing world and what poetry can offer those of us seeking courage, clarity, and pathways to contribution. Whether you are steeped in climate work or newly curious, whether poetry is a familiar companion or something you rarely encounter, you’ll leave this conversation feeling nourished, grounded, and more equipped for the journey ahead.
