Carbonation 005 - The Weather Says

The Weather Says is a sequence of lyrics and fragmentary longer pieces that address our new relationship with the weather: its highs and lows, its warnings, its benevolences and its dystopic visions. Drawing from a range of lines written by poets, along with scholarly material, these poems address the unavoidable realities, the presumably dull quotidian and even the mysteriously terrifying projections that an awareness of weather gifts us. Whether as small talk or catastrophe, balm or devastation, the weather is intimately bound up with what being truly human means in the 21st century.
