The World As We Knew It by Tajja Isen, Amy Brady
4.0
Overall, a powerful, well-curated collection.
I read one or two essays each sitting and suggest that because some of these are so heavy that to really appreciate them you almost do have to take the time to sit with one.
My personal favorites were "Unearthing" by Lidia Yuknavitch, "Until This Snow Reaches the Ocean" by Nickolas Butler (really powerful pieces about parenting in the face of climate disaster), and "Season of Sickness" by Porochista Khakpour (which really drives home the added burden of pre-existing conditions in the face of a changing climate).
