Open Your Eyes: an anthology on climate change: poetry and prose (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788194665175)

Open your Eyes: an anthology on climate change investigates human relationships with the natural world. Each poem/prose offers a unique perspective on the environment in its own style. Each contributor has interpreted the theme broadly, exploring the issue in different ways-physical, spiritual or emotional through their own unique cultural lens. As climate change continues to wreak havoc on populations across the globe, writers are fighting back with words that jolt, motivate, and in the best of all, provoke one to act. July 2019 was officially the hottest month on Earth since records began. Scientists are arguing that we are out of the Holocene era-the epoch that encompasses the last ten thousand years-and entering a new age-the Anthropocene-where humanity is the main force shaping the planet and nature can no longer be regarded as natural. Open your Eyes is perhaps the best way to bring this new age into perspective. The collection has contributions from some of the best poets writing today-both nationally and internationally.
