“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Have You Tried My Patreon Yet?

 It's an amplification, for me, of the conversations I've had with my mum for years. I just can't sit around lecturing and writing books and essays, and that's it. I need to talk with more people more of the time. 

The latest post is about the Russia situation.

Book on Christianity and Ecology Is Now in Production

 Columbia University Press are the greatest. I've known that since they worked with me on publishing the Wellek Lectures (Dark Ecology). Their enthusiasm for the new project is infectious and the assiduity of my editor, Wendy Lochner, is astounding. I'm truly grateful to them. 

The book is now called 

HELL: IN SEARCH OF A CHRISTIAN ECOLOGY 

Brazilian Being Ecological

 What a lovely cover this is. 



Rodrigo Petronio on The Ecological Thought

 I'm so glad to see this.

Watch: Very Important

 I for one am very grateful to Treena and Carol Balds for having turned me on to MSNBC, which if you haven't watched in a while, is now terribly important. My old friend Eddie Glaude from Princeton is on Morning Joe! This is a really really important segment that aired just now. We are dealing with incipient fascism here. Get it straight.
