This was slow for me, especially in the essays that are less memoir and more nonfiction.

A series of essays about climate anxiety from a truly intersectional perspective. The writing is great and the author explores many different and interesting aspects of the climate crisis

Beautiful reflection on motherhood in a time of rapidly intensifying climate change.  The metaphors of the bird murals and the author's ebbs and flows describing her reactions to and reflections about them were well executed.  Thoughtful, challenging, and beautifully written.
