Book By Pulitzer-Prize Winner Glenn Proctor Explores Complex Times And Crises

Charlotte, NC – How do we deal with change in these unprecedented times? A book by an acclaimed Charlotte author might just give us a much-needed mental road map.

CHANGE Robots Driving Covered Wagons, the third book of the Finding Dust Trilogy by Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist, poet, life coach, and trainer Glenn Proctor, was published four years ago, yet many of the poems resonate today during the current health and economic crisis engulfing the world.

Not only do many of the poems talk about continuous change and life disruption, in DEFINING CHANGE, but the book also offers two dozen simple ways the author understands change and what more than 80 contributors from around the United States and Canada – many of the pioneers and innovators in their fields – say about dealing with it.

We may not like the changes that come with serious life situations – the current pandemic, the 2008 financial collapse or 9/11, and the twists and turns of our personal lives – yet changes of some kind are happening around us every day, every minute, every second. And, as some of the poems and descriptions in CHANGE reflect, there are perils, joys, and merits in progress. The future doesn’t stop, even during a crisis.
