Our show today comes in one part. Poet tessa micaela reads an extended excerpt from their book of poetry entitled where bells begin. tessa and I collaborated on this audio treatment of their poem. After conversing then recording tessa reading, I collected sounds, mostly in wild parts of South Africa and in the town of Waterval Boven in  Mpumalanga province.

I mixed these sounds with tessa’s reading. You will hear a variety of birds and other wild and domesticated animals. where bells begin immerses the reader and listener into a world that is both foreign and familiar. The main character, who simply goes by the single letter, O, walks through this world, interacts with it, is ignored by it, and endures in it. 

The only piece of music in this audio treatment is the bass track of Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen’s song Never Forget. The episode ends with the track Dreamaway by Dreem and is available on Epidemicmusic.com
 
For the best experience, I suggest you use headphones or ear buds as you listen to this audio treatment of tessa micaela’s where bells begin.

Tessa Micaela is the author of where bells begin (Rescue Press, November 2019), there are boxes and there is wanting (Trembling Pillow Press, 2016), and the chapbook Crude Matter (ypolita press, 2016). Tessa writes poems, essays and letters, some of which have appeared in jubilat, ELDERLY, Make/shift, and Dusie. Tessa was born and raised on the Lenni-Lenape land of Philadelphia, and resides on the unceded Abenaki land of central Vermont. Tessa is a midwife, a clinical and community herbalist, care-worker and educator. More information can be found at tessamicaela.com and moonrootmedicinals.com.

Bells Begin

Are you ready for a dose of optimism in the climate change dialogue? The latest bonus episode of Citizens Climate Radio is here to deliver just that. Host Peterson Toscano steps away from the script to bring you a candid and uplifting update on climate action that's happening right where it matters: in Congress.

The episode includes the announcement of a significant legislative win—the passage of the PROVE IT Act through the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. This bipartisan effort signifies a crucial step toward using trade policy to curb global emissions. It's a testament to the power of collective advocacy, highlighting the tireless efforts of volunteers who pushed the agenda forward.

But the good news doesn't stop there. Peterson offers a tantalizing preview of the 2024 season, promising a lineup of extraordinary guests and innovative segments. We're talking about climate change comedy that strikes a balance between laughter and learning, the return of the Resilience Corner, and the debut of the CCL Youth Corner. 

The blog post delves into the upcoming special series, including "Voces del Cambio," a Spanish language podcast focusing on climate issues in Latin America, and a true crime podcast that investigates the sinister turn in the US political climate regarding environmental issues. These series not only aim to entertain but also to educate and inspire action.

Citizens Climate Radio continues to emphasize its role as a platform for its audience, seeking input and engagement from listeners to shape the show's future. The episode serves as a call to action, inviting everyone to contribute their voices to the climate advocacy movement.

We invite you to engage with a community that's making real change. It's a reminder that amidst the daunting news that often overshadows environmental discourse, there are victories to be celebrated and progress to be acknowledged. Visit www.cclusa.org/action to find out how you can take part in monthly actions along with thousands of others. 

Don't miss out on this inspiring episode. Tune in to Citizens Climate Radio, get involved, and let's continue to move the needle together in the fight against climate change.
