Bill Pendergraft founded Environmental Media in 1988 to write and produce environmental education content. He designed and produced books, museum exhibits, photography and videos that led him on a continual journey to some of the most exotic and threatened terrestrial and marine areas of the world from South America to Australia to Micronesia. During his travels he was an eyewitness to the impacts of climate change, pollution, urbanization, and deforestation and their impacts on communities. His work introduced him to environmental scientists and naturalists who guided his work and who were giving their lives to the understanding and conservation of wild places. The diaries of his travels led to the evolution of his poetry, a response to the impacts of environmental degradation on humans and other living things. His second book of poetry, Love in the Age of Loneliness, describes his biophilia, the term coined by Harvard naturalist Edward O. Wilson to describe one's love of living things; plants, animals and people. His book shares his wide-eyed confrontation with environmental destruction and the loneliness that may be our response. He lives in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.
