Our guest for February is William (Bill) Carpenter, author of "Silence", published by Islandport Press in 2021, as well as other works of poetry and fiction. He and host Peter Neill discuss the new book; the traumas and the scars of war; the past and future of human ecology and the importance of better understanding and living within our natural systems; the complexities of social stratification of island communities; inheritance versus native belonging; and the nature of conflict and loss.
