Harvest Moon: Poems and Stories from the Edge of the Climate Crisis isn’t like any other book about the environment. Here, we read through the perspectives of people who either experienced disaster firsthand or have been closely watching how the world is changing for the worse.
In these beautifully designed and curated pages are haunting realities of flood and drought, deforestation, hunger, and other forms of devastation brought about by global warming written as essays or poetry. The book is also hopeful, being a collection of stories meant to call for more concrete and urgent action.
Harvest Moon is unique and refreshing as it tells the narratives of those from underrepresented parts of the world, and away from the usual western perspective. It contains 30 images and over 30 written works across 24 different countries in 11 different languages. The book features writers, photographers, activists, and artists from Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and Latin America.
