Environmental leaders and thinkers on what comes next | Grist Magazine | Main Dish | 03 Nov 2004:

"Array of Hope Environmental leaders and thinkers on what comes next"

When I saw Peter Matthiessen's name in this list , I thought of what he had to say in his interview with Shapiro in A Sense of Place

and I wrote this cinquain-T


Rough Beast from Crawford

—Redneck
Texas cowboy
Not just dumb, proud of it.
Talking like he walks; mocking our
na-shun.


The environmental record of this bunch of beasts is the most egregious---it is a war against the world, it’s beauty, its grace, its awesome majesty. These people are resurrecting the Manichaean ideal from its slumber in an ironic war against the place of its origin.
