Early Praise for Earth Resonance: Sam Love is a profoundly engaged environmentalist and, it turns out, he is also a good poet. This collection of his poetry is an inspiration even to an old enviro warhorse like me. His observations are keen and informed by good science and searing honesty. The reader keeps engaged because Love is a very witty guy. You will likely rage and laugh and cry at the utter folly of our ways. -Gus Speth, author of America the Possible, Dean (emeritus) of Yale School of the Environment and former Chair of the President's Council on Environmental Quality I generally find contemporary poetry pretentious, and opaque, but Sam Love's poems are lucid and provocative. Love writes beautifully of environmental shame and hope. -Denis Hayes, President of the Bullitt Foundation, national coordinator of the first Earth Day in 1970 May the awakenings which have come to this big-hearted poet ripple out to transform our entire society, for Sam Love has become our modern-day Walt Whitman, a beam of light in this moment of darkness. -Dr. Gary Paul Nabhan, author, recipient of MacArthur Genius Grant, and research scientist on Southwestern Borderlands Food & Water Security (University of Arizona) Sam Love's poetry is a great gift to mankind. His work can open the eyes of millions who haven't yet realized the horrific sides of evolution. I liked the simplicity of his poetries. The poet focusses on important topics that we humans should worry about. -(KMGREADS) book review blog, India
