Solastalgia - Sadness Due To A Changing World

There’s a new term being used to describe the feeling of sadness one feels about the world changing. It’s call solastalgia. Paul Bogard, associate professor of English at Hamline University in Saint Paul, has compiled a book of essays about the word and why so many people are feeling it these days. He’s our speaker for Books & Brews on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, at Pale Fire Brewing in Harrisonburg. WMRA’s Chris Boros asked Paul to describe the word.
