"We could do better sooner, even when we don't want to," says the speaker of Don Krieger's When Danger is Passed, Who Remembers? (Milk and Cake Press, 2022) Why can't a society that cooperated enough to ban the greenhouse gas Freon, perhaps preventing a pandemic of skin cancer, eradicate the racism, violence, and inequity at the nation's core from the beginning? In a work that spans firsthand adventures in rocket science in the 1970s to life under the Trump regime, Krieger reminds us of the dangers of forgetting the lessons of the past and invites us to bear some of the collective responsibility for remembering our way toward a better future. -- Lauren Russell -- author of Descent (Tarpaulin Sky Press) Judith R.
