Seven Imagined Memories
At the San Francisco Pathway to Paris event, which capped off the Global Climate Action Summit (September 12-14, 2018), Rhiannon performed her poem, ‘7 Imagined Memories’ along with Jesse on piano and Rebecca on cello. This poem introduces us to to explores an imaginary relationship with seven animals which have gone extinct in her lifetime. Since the event, the poem has been illustrated and published into a book with all proceeds going to support Pathway to Paris, at the suggestion and choice of Rhiannon.
