Global Warming
This anthology of poems is an emotional exploration of climate change and its underlying attitudes. The poems lie at the intersection of climate change due to global warming and inner transformation. The poems are meaningful, powerful, and thought-provoking. The reader goes on a journey from despair and chaos, ending in a place of quiet optimism. This is a book for the sensitive, the conscious, the eco-warriors, and the introspective nature lovers among us. Intermixing essays with poetry and art, this book is both a balm and a guide for knowing and holding what has been done to the world, while bolstering our resolve never to give up on one another or our collective future. The scope of the poems goes far beyond Connecticut to the whole ecosystem we humans share. With praise and wonder, and sometimes with grief or anger, the poems in this collection pay close attention to our planet and its inhabitants. In a time of climate crisis, the poems in this anthology ask everyone to wake up to the earth and cherish it.

The book also details how, over many decades, residents have argued that toxic cleanup and urban redevelopment ought to be a socially, economically, and ecologically reparative process that supports the self-determination of Black residents"--

Counterpoints: A San Francisco Bay Area Atlas of Displacement and Resistance brings together cartography, essays, illustrations, poetry, and more in order to depict gentrification and resistance struggles from across the San Francisco Bay Area and act as a roadmap to counter-hegemonic knowledge making and activism. Compiled by the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project, each chapter reflects different frameworks for understanding the Bay Area’s ongoing urban upheaval, including: evictions and root shock, indigenous geographies, health and environmental racism, state violence, transportation and infrastructure, migration and relocation, and speculative futures. By weaving these themes together, Coun...
