Poetry on Climate Change with Geza Tatrallyay Via Zoom

Past event
Mar 10, 2021, 7 to 8:30 PM

Kimball Public Library is pleased to host Geza Tatrallyay, who will give a reading of his latest poetry on Climate Change. For information on joining the Zoom event, please contact the Library: 728-5073 or info@KimballLibrary.org.

Geza Tatrallyay, who has had thirteen books published so far, of which four are poetry collections, will talk about, and read poetry from his two most recent collections, Extinction and Extinction Rebellion, as well as some from an upcoming fifth volume, Poems for our World. Many of the poems in these books are in some ways a call to action for us to combat climate change, what mankind is doing to the world all around, to other species and to itself. Geza will talk about how he became an early proponent of environmental activism, having been introduced to these issues by his mentor at Harvard, Roger Revelle (who was also Al Gore's mentor) and then continuing his studies in Human Ecology / Human Sciences at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. He will also talk about how he helped start several renewable energy companies which have grown into major international players in the field.
