Derrick Jensen is an activist, author, small farmer, bee-keeper, teacher, and philosopher whose speaking engagements in recent years have packed university auditoriums, conferences and bookstores nationwide. His acclaimed book, A Language Older Than Words, has been said to accomplish the rare feat of both “breaking and mending the reader’s heart,” as well as energizing the mind. Jenson was one of two finalists for the 2003 J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize, which cited his book The Culture of Make Believe as “a passionate and provocative meditation on the nexus of racism, genocide, environ-mental destruction, and corporate malfeasance, where civilization meets its discontents.” Jensen’s latest books are Endgame Volume 1: The Problem of Civilization and Endgame Volume 2: Resistance.
Jensen speaks often to audiences around the world, and his lectures has been described as explorations of “the nature of injustice, of what civilizations do to the natural world and how, in the face of the resulting horror that is one of the all too apparent consequences of grave injustice, civilized human beings create intricate systems of denial, silence, abnegation, deception and self-hatred to keep it at bay.” “Derrick Jensen is a rare and original voice of sanity in a chaotic world. He has wisdom and wit, grace and style, and is a wonderful guide to a good life beautifully lived.”
