in Episode 6, "Okefenokee Heavy & Precious," Janisse Ray almost whispers her cautionary tale. Her voice is mesmerizing, her writing takes our breath away, and the message of her story sets our hearts on fire to save the swamp. Janisse is an acclaimed author and environmental activist whose first book, the memoir Ecology of a Cracker Childhood won the American Book Award. Since then, there have been many books and stories, some in The Bitter Southerner. We launched "Okefenokee Heavy & Precious" on our website this past week. Now, on our BATCH podcast, you can listen to Janisse read her inspiring words.
