The sound of the trees
Early in the morning, before dawn has even fully broken over Berlin, a concert of a very special kind begins under Susie Ibarra’s window. The blackbird begins with a short melodic solo ending on a trill, its song accompanied by the rustling of the horse chestnut leaves on the branches outside Ibarra’s window. For the artist, this is much more than just an acoustic welcome to the day – it is a dialogue with nature and a chance to immerse herself in a musical realm full of rhythms and sounds.
Where the Birds Sing Bass — Oakland Public Library
Where the Birds Sing Bass — Lockett, Reginald — Poetry. "WHERE THE BIRDS SING BASS may be the best book of poetry in 1995. The voice is hip, urban, observant, and nostalgic. Reginald Lockett brings the world home, and in the process tells us about folks who don't make the news" -Ishmael Reed.

Why the Black Hole Sings the Blues — Oakland Public Library
Why the Black Hole Sings the Blues — Reed, Ishmael, 1938- — "The poems in this collection were written between 2007 and 2020. When asked to describe the poems here, Ishmael Reed wrote: 'The poems are based on events that occurred around the house to cataclysmic space events. Some of the poems were commissioned. "Moving Richmond" was part of a public art installation created by Mildred Howard. The poem, in huge letters forged into weathering steel billboards greets passengers who enter the new Bay Area mass transit hub in Richmond. Other poems were commissioned by musicians. "Hope Is The Thing With Feathers" was performed by Gregory Porter. "Red Summer, 2015" appeared in print first and then was set to music by David Murray. The longest poem in the book, "Jazz Martyrs," was begun when I learned about the number of Black Jazz greats who didn't live past the age of forty. I have been fortunate to live beyond the age of 80. I've found out who my best friends are. The ones who got me there.'"-- Back cover.

Diverse Locations and a Long History: Historical Context for Urban Leopards (Panthera pardus) in the Early Anthropocene From Seoul, Korea
While the urban landscapes of the early Anthropocene may appear hostile to large carnivores, humans and leopards (Panthera pardus) are known to co-inhabit major urban centres like Mumbai (India), Nairobi (Kenya) and Johannesburg (South Africa). We provide evidence that the presence of leopards in urban landscapes is not, however, a new phenomenon and has occurred repeatedly over the early history of the Anthropocene. Using records of Amur leopards (P. p. orientalis) in Seoul, Korea, at the end of the 19th century, a capital city and major urban centre with a high human population density, we explore socio-cultural, political and ecological factors that may have facilitated human-leopard co-occurrence in an urban landscape and the factors that eventually led to the leopards' extirpation. We suggest that, in the absence of unsustainable levels of persecution by humans, leopards are able to persist in urban landscapes which contain small patches of dense vegetation and have sufficient alternative food supplies. In light of the continued expansion of urban landscapes in the 21st century and increasing conservation focus on the presence of large carnivore populations there, this paper provides historical context to human co-existence with leopards in urban landscapes during the Anthropocene – and what we can learn from it for the future.
