Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth

How to Live with Care and Purpose in an Endangered World

By: Kate Schapira

Climate anxiety is real—and this practical, accessible guide helps address it on personal, relational, and structural levels, from the founder of the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth. Summer after summer is the hottest on record. People’s homes are flooding, burning, blowing away. We live with the loss, pain, and grief of what’s happened, and anxiety for what might happen next, as the systems in which we live are increasingly strained. Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth addresses our collective concerns with empathy, grace, and practical strategies to help us all envision a viable future. By moving through your personal and general climate anxiety, frustration, helplessness and grief, you can move toward a sense of shared purpose and community care. You’ll find actionable steps for connecting with others, identifying and activating community abundance, matching your skills with organized climate activism, and imagining a radically more livable future in order to bring it into being. Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth meets you where you are, not sugarcoating the realities of this growing crisis, but offering practical strategies for meeting a climate-changed present and future with emotional honesty and communal support. In 2014, when Kate Schapira first set up a Climate Anxiety Counseling booth in her hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, far fewer people were talking about climate change and its attendant anxiety, leaving those who couldn’t ignore climate change and the forces that cause it feeling frantic and alone. Seeking a way to reach out and connect, Schapira set up a Peanuts-style "The Doctor Is In" booth to talk about climate change with her community. Ten years and over 1200 conversations later, Schapira channels all she’s learned into an accessible, understandable, and aware guide for processing climate anxiety and connecting with others to carry out real change in your life and in your community.

Georges Franju

By: Kate Ince

‘Georges Franju' is the fullest study to date of this little-known French director, the co-founder of the Cinémathèque française, and the first book on him in English since 1967. Born in 1912, but only enjoying his real debut as a director in 1948 with his notorious documentary about Parisian abattoirs 'Le Sang des bêtes', Franju went on to make thirteen more courts métrages and eight longs métrages, including his horror classic 'Les Yeux sans visage'. Ince takes a new approach to Franju's films, investigating the areas of genre and gender, and grouping the films thematically rather than chronologically. A chapter on Franju's cinematic aesthetics offers a new synthesis of existing writings, combined with the author's responses to the films. A full introduction and conclusion set Franju's directorial career in the context of his lifelong commitment to France's cinema institutions. 'Georges Franju' will be essential reading on Franju, and of great interest to researchers, academics and students in film studies

Town

By: Kate Schapira

Poetry. Kate Schapira asked about a hundred people to describe an imaginary town. Sixty-three of them did. She built their contributions into poems that explore how we live differently in the same world, who we mean when we say we, what we mean when we say "here.

Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth

How to Live with Care and Purpose in an Endangered World

By: Kate Schapira

In 2013, Kate Schapira sat in her office at Brown University and read about acidic waters, ecological imbalance, dead zones, and zombie ecosystems. Before then, she'd had the same broad understanding of climate change that most people did at the time, but these articles on the permanent disappearance of coral reefs filled her with such hopelessness that she desperately needed an outlet-someone or someone to talk to who understood how she was feeling. Soon, she was setting up a Peanuts-style "The Doctor Is In" booth in her hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, to talk about climate change with her community. Ten years and over 1,200 conversations later, Schapira channels all she's learned into an accessible, understandable, and aware guide for processing climate anxiety and affecting real change in people's lives and communities. Filled with stories, questions, and exercises, "Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth" focuses on five action verbs that readers can use to build their climate resilience: recognize, release, find, build, and become. All the stories, questions, and practices included in this book have helped someone find what they wanted or needed, whether in the moment or for the years to come. Through their use of this book, readers will move through their personal and general climate anxiety, frustration, helplessness, and grief toward a sense of shared purpose and community care. "Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth" meets readers where they are with thoughtful and practical strategies to help solve this growing crisis in a way that doesn't sugarcoat the realities or scream fragility and instead offers communal support"--

Fill

A Collection

By: Erika Howsare,Kate Schapira

Poetry. Everything is future waste and nothing disappears in FILL: A COLLECTION, a poetic collaboration between Erika Howsare and Kate Schapira. The two writers sent their words on waste, profligacy, persistence, reclamation and degradation back and forth with full license to alter and no permission to throw any word away. The result is a double-minded meditation on and breakdown of the divisions between valuable and valueless, here and gone.

The Soft Place

By: Kate Schapira

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Soft Place

By: Kate Schapira

Poetry. "In my mind, THE SOFT PLACE makes traces around what works to keep us together or keep us going: kindness, stitches ('this inner thing is mine'), seeds, family lines, and the symmetries and asymptotes therein. With intimacy and intelligence, Schapira reminds us of those mirrors (between us and us, us and others or lovers, us and the wound or the world) that sometimes hold together, sometimes shatter: 'Nature doesn't mirror us, but it senses us.' She holds the shards between pictures up to each other in reciprocity, responsiveness; that is to say, she holds it together." Eleni Sikelianos

Handbook for Hands that Alter as We Hold Them Out

Poems

By: Kate Schapira

Poetry. "A spell that works every time isn't a spell, yet a potent text may reliably reveal a state in which the unknown works in us as elixir, marking, remaking us. Make no mistake, these words are alive like a million mouths of velvet. Open this book and simultaneously open your consciousness to murky spore printed technology for speaking with the dead, the wayward, omens, bed-burnt ignorance and women with extra heads. Schapira's adroit visceral poems delve courageously into empathetic ecology, mixing rot with root-lightning and unveiling hidden realms, which like rich soil provide necessary gestational darkness. Who will you be when you finish reading this book? You may leave your heart or swallow it again." Laynie Browne

The Bounty

Four Addresses

By: Kate Schapira

Poetry. THE BOUNTY: FOUR ADDRESSES begins with the assumption that each human has a price on their head—the same price. Rushes and crystallizations of language probe our potential to do harm, or to lose our own minds, or respond to, refuse, erode or affirm the reality of another person. In four sections that move from chance encounters through love and fear to deliberate reflection, this book asks what states or what actions, our own or someone else's, can make any one of us less real than any other.
