Poet, earth advocate, to appear at Gardnerville bookstore
The Record-Courier, January 15, 2006 by Jo Rafferty
After years of world travel, championing the plight of wild horses, the mountain tapir of South America and writing two books, Craig Carpenter Downer, 57, a fourth-generation Nevadan, felt ready to release "Streams of the Soul."
The north Douglas County man made it his lifelong quest to save endangered species, which is reflected in his new book of poetry. The book also addresses philosophies of life and religious ideas.
"It's pretty broad in its scope. A lot of my poems address the urgent crisis of the earth today," said Downer, who compiled many of his works from the early 1990s to the 2000s into the 341-page volume. "I've been writing all my life, and it started developing into poetry."
