“There was once a town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings.” Thus begins Rachel Carson’s fable for tomorrow, the 3-page long first chapter to her 1962 book Silent Spring. Her text continues; a chronicle of disconnect between bee and apple tree, between hen and chick, between morning and the dawn chorus. A necessary and painful re-read in the heart of spring hope.
