After a series of award-winning books on environment and climate, Gus Speth turned his attention to poetry and essays, and Working Hard To Dream is his sixth volume of poems and light verse. The poems in this volume fall roughly into three categories. The largest collection are poems addressing the beauty and the challenges of everyday life and living, our presence in the world. These must be mature reflections, Speth said recently. Hell, I'm 83.
A second group continues to build on his commitment to deep transformational change in our society; many are poems of protest. And, grasping for relief, the final group are humorous but, as Speth says, seriously funny.
