Infused with eclectically fresh and wanderlust poetic lines, From the Igloo Confessional is a novel of poetry from author/artist Stefan Lowry. Brimming with stark and rich word play, this all new collection conveys dark haunting undertones in a symphony of layers, as each piece beckons with ethereal stories drenched in free verse. Derived as an idea from the Icelandic sagas, From the Igloo Confessional is a surrounding narrative where Adam and Fjola find self discovery while careening through place and time. Come along on an imaginative journey where a "Starry Hour" prevails, a "Fire in Moscow" glows, and "Chiaroscuro" awaits. Soar over waters in "Ride the Ocean Bells". Stefan has crafted a storyline of deep expression and feeling, from "To Catch Mona Lisa", to "Glories of the Pigeons", "Dutchman", and "Symbiosis". From the Igloo Confessional is an epic of poetry to be experienced over and over again.
A New York Times Editors’ Choice Named a Best Book of the Year in The New Yorker, Publishers Weekly, Chicago Tribune, and EcoLit Books A USA Today Must-Read Summer Book "David Lipsky spins top-flight climate literature into cliffhanger entertainment." —Zoë Schlanger, New York Times Book Review The New York Times best-selling author explores how “anti-science” became so virulent in American life—through a history of climate denial and its consequences. In 1956, the New York Times prophesied that once global warming really kicked in, we could see parrots in the Antarctic. In 2010, when science deniers had control of the climate story, Senator James Inhofe and his family built an igloo on the Washington Mall and plunked a sign on top: AL GORE'S NEW HOME: HONK IF YOU LOVE CLIMATE CHANGE. In The Parrot and the Igloo, best-selling author David Lipsky tells the astonishing story of how we moved from one extreme (the correct one) to the other. With narrative sweep and a superb eye for character, Lipsky unfolds the dramatic narrative of the long, strange march of climate science. The story begins with a tale of three inventors—Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Nikola Tesla—who made our technological world, not knowing what they had set into motion. Then there are the scientists who sounded the alarm once they identified carbon dioxide as the culprit of our warming planet. And we meet the hucksters, zealots, and crackpots who lied about that science and misled the public in ever more outrageous ways. Lipsky masterfully traces the evolution of climate denial, exposing how it grew out of early efforts to build a network of untruth about products like aspirin and cigarettes. Featuring an indelible cast of heroes and villains, mavericks and swindlers, The Parrot and the Igloo delivers a real-life tragicomedy—one that captures the extraordinary dance of science, money, and the American character.
A young boy from Texas grows up without ever knowing the strange circumstances that paired his mother and father and without even knowing who they are. At the orphanage where he grows up, he is told "If anyone loved you, you wouldn't be here." Small wonder that Buster Krebs finds little in his life to which he is attached, and small wonder that he will sell his soul to the highest bidder. When Buster Krebs becomes an employee of the Boone Army Depot in central Kentucky, his past life remains shrouded in mystery, but through a series of random and not so random events, he holds the fate of an entire county in his weather beaten hands. This novel warns of what can happen when do-gooders of all stripes converge in an explosive situation in which each promotes his own agenda regardless of right or wrong. Attitudes toward government, self-determination, and how a city sees itself as well as the emotional issues including the role of religion in politics are all presented through the eyes of a wide range of individuals who struggle with what to do with tons of nerve gas that are rapidly deteriorating and how and where they should be destroyed.
