WINNER, AMERICAN BOOK FEST BEST BOOK AWARDS
In Fall 2023, the congressionally-mandated Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5) report was released under the U.S. Global Change Research Program to support informed decision-making relating to climate change impacts, risks, and responses. Dear Human at the Edge of Time: Poems on Climate Change in the United States, edited by Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellows Luisa A. Igloria and Aileen Cassinetto & NCA5 Chapter Lead Dr. Jeremy S. Hoffman, was created out of the need to tell our human stories alongside climate science, and is offered as a companion to NCA5.
Praise:
"As we celebrate the rollout of the Fifth National Climate Assessment, let this inspiring collection be a reminder that there is nothing beyond our capacity if we work together." -The Honorable Joseph R. Biden Jr., 46th U.S. President
"The DEAR HUMAN anthology is rich, deep, and ultimately heartening... So many voices in this book are new to me-that too is heartening... now more than ever, at last, the chorus of earth-defenders and earth-embracers grows omnipresent, visible not least in the pages of this book." -Jane Hirshfield, co-founder of Poets for Science and elected member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences
"This book reminds us we are in a state of collapse as well as rebirth. It is both lamp and spear, lyric and shield. It is a companion we will need as we navigate the long dark night of the climate crisis and the rubble of human certainties and conceits." -Renato Redentor Constantino, Deputy Chair of the Expert Advisory Group of the 58-government Climate Vulnerable Forum
"I am inspired by the power of poetry to move us, to challenge us, and to connect us to one another and to the natural world. Dear Human at the Edge of Time is a testament to the vital role that poetry can play in raising awareness of the climate crisis and in spurring us to action." -Dr. Sam Illingworth, Chief Executive Editor, Geoscience Communication, and founder of Consilience
