in the article about jenny offill and weather the term solastalgia appears and i look up the guy who made it up, glenn albrecht, saw a talk he gave on line, ordered his book earth emotions and signed up to his website psychoterratica. i been feeling the dislocation from nature, the trauma of the earth under attack and my interpersonal dilemma, vacillating between the two, but these two writers tell how they are the same thing, inseparable, the relation between a distressed environment and distressed people. maybe the way we tend separate them is exacerbating the trauma, deepening the separation. everything depends on feeling at home in the world, and we lose that when war and ecocide and massive displacement are systemic, and pandemic. i had longed for a novelist to help find expression for the inchoate feeling of now, and/or a philosopher. i think these are both the ones i was looking for. but i know there are more, and more to come. and i can almost imagine if we can rouse ourselves that the anthropocene which is no future will end and begin the symbiocene.
