Blue Earth : Reader Reviews

Image of Andrei
Andrei: The only good thing about this book is its honesty. The author does not pretend to be a totally green eco-being: he's willing to admit his own inconsistencies and struggles. In that sense, this work speaks to many people sensing the gap between their thoughts and deeds.

Jules: Hey - what' the use of this whining and pining? All this ceaseless lamenting about environmental destruction is a drag. Why can't this writer just chill out & enjoy a delicious, cool beer? Is he foolish enough to think that poetry or art ever makes a difference in the scheme of things?

Soo: Sum ah dis wuz interesting in a riterrary weigh. Rots ah duh works are hopelessly amateur – yet now & den I felt a gurimpsu of dings mysterious. Duh author iz strongest when affirming dah parts ah us dat are naturally wild, liquid, & wondrous. His rants are mildly amusing in murderation, but dreadfolly tiresome in excess.

Philyra: Well, at best I think of this work as a beginning: the concerns raised in the volume are timely and relevant, but they also need to be translated into action. The author needs to get out of his shell and network more. Our whole world is be- coming increasingly interconnected and the ability to share and communicate well with others is paramount if this work is to have any lasting value.

Ellesha: You really want my opinion? I think these words are meaningless, but some of this art rocks. The older I become the less I believe in words. I've heard all kinds ah sweet-sounding rhetoric, but in the final analysis, so what? We should remember the silence of the ocean and enjoy images arising the same way we enjoy water bubbles. No bubble lasts long – even human civilization is but a brief bubble in time . . . The best way to appreciate this book is as a child who can’t read, but is curious about the overall patterns. Already, I say too much . . .
