As recommended on Manila Standard:
Art provides a human connection and brings numbers, statistics, and scientific jargon to a level that anyone can understand. This is the value of the book Harvest Moon: Poems and Stories from the Edge of the Climate Crisis.
Through the work of writers, photographers, and artists from Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and Latin America, who created 30 images and wrote over 30 poems, stories, and essays about the climate crisis, spanning 24 countries and 11 languages, this book brings into focus the horror and desolation that is now destroying habitats and communities around the world.
There is so much power, honesty, and courage in these verses and sentences and the others that fill this beautiful book, while the images, in stark black-and-white, reveal the ravages dealt by the climate crisis.
