Author Description

'While science can hold a magnifying glass over the world, poetry can hold a magnifying glass over our deepest emotions. If we are to tackle climate change, we must not just understand the world, but understand ourselves, and it is to that end that this volume is directed. These poems take us from the deeply personal impact of climate change on a woman forced to sell the family farm to the process of negotiations of global agreements. They take us on a journey across the landscape of flood, fire and drought.' - Richard Denniss, CEO, Australia Institute
