For us, the main event of 2020 was the publication of Nathaniel Popkin's deeply thoughtful book-length essay on the climate crisis: TO REACH THE SPRING.

In the few weeks since the book launched, he's done a variety of interviews. If you like moving images, here are three video appearances available online:

Grid Magazine video interview

Walden Woods Project, Zoom discussion with Gail Straub:

The Jefferson Exchange radio show

Our favorite, though, remains the static, words-only interview on the blog of Deborah Kalb. It's really one of the best Q&As we've ever read.

Interview with Deborah Kalb

"The Belgian prime minister Alexander de Croo said recently, in discussing the spike in Covid cases in Europe: 'We [are] dangerous to each other. We have to have the courage to admit it.' What de Croo says about Covid applies to our paralysis in the face of eco-crisis. The paralysis comes in part from lack of courage. We can’t face the ways we are dangerous to each other. Because we can’t face them we aren’t able to act." [Emphasis added.]

This is Nathaniel Popkin discussing TO REACH THE SPRING with Deborah Kalb. Read the whole interview for more insights.

Today is the official launch day, and the book is available wherever serious literature is sold. (Probably not at your local supermarket. But once you load up on carbs, you can head over to an independent bookstore.)
