Happy Earth Month. I began in 2009 to pen Earth Day essays, some of which became chapters in my second book. I offered a voice for those who are least responsible for environmental decline. My 15th essay is in the works. #kingsofalonelykingdom www.davidmahood.com

I am still feeling the loss of Robert Redford despite the fact that I never met or interacted with him. I sent a character sketch poem entitled SUNDANCE to his Institute many years ago. I posted it on my Substack page. Newman was pretty great too. davidmahood.substack.com/p/sundance

Nature and Ecology are not lucrative book topics but they're important and what I write about regardless. My books are available at Bank Square Books in Mystic, CT #MysticCT banksquarebooks.com/book/9780999...
Kings of a Lonely Kingdom: Earth Day Essays, Poems, and Musings on Nature
In his latest book, Kings of a Lonely Kingdom, author David C. Mahood shares his passion for preserving nature, biodiversity, and for combating climate change, through ten years of Earth Day essays, original poetry, and related sentiments. Throughout the book he shares compelling examples of a world in need of greater care in order to bring attention to the unfavorable, long-term consequences of climate change, and the loss of biodiversity. The plights of penguins and pachyderms, whales and wolves, minks and monarchs, and the struggle for clean energy and environmental justice are topics woven into Kings of a Lonely Kingdom. Mahood reflects on the origin and success of the first Earth Day as well as the status of its fiftieth anniversary, which also contains excerpts from a 1972 Earth Day booklet that the author wrote as a nine-year-old, fourth-grade student. The purpose of Earth Day is also expressed by members of today's youth, from ages nine to thirty-two. Kings of a Lonely Kingdom is a combination of wit and concern and personal stories, a unique appeal for a healthy habitat for all species, and for all times.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised that Trump is dismantling the Department of Education. He did say that he loves the poorly educated. May we all bond together in support of an informed populace.

After re-reading the July '79 Carter speech, I was struck by a line- "we've discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning." If that doesn't seem prescient with our looming environmental crises, I don't know what does. Longing for living?

All authors cherish good reviews but so few readers ever leave reviews. I almost always leave reviews and am happy to do so. Writing a book is such a difficult endeavor for most of us. I've written 2 in 8 years. Not very prolific but I like the ones I've gotten. booklife.com/project/king...
