'these poems skillfully confront the recognisable realities of the climate crisis.' Natasha Onwuemezi Published to coincide with the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26), hosted in Glasgow from 31 October 2021. This is How the Change Begins is a collection of six illuminating poems inspired by the growing threat of climate change. From a consideration of our carbon footprints by way of Islamic mathematician Alhazen, the impact shifting weather conditions are having and will continue to have on our events and celebrations and the choices we have to make to turn the tide, these remarkable poems brilliantly confront the recognisable realities of the climate crisis with bold and lyrical language. Including background notes on the themes behind them, each poem has been typographically designed and arranged to best communicate these essential messages.
