Dreams for Earth: Poems

Equal parts prayer and protest, the poems in DREAMS FOR EARTH invite us to live fully in the power, responsibility, and joy of our interconnectedness.

In her debut poetry collection, Fatima-Ayan Malika Hirsi chronicles experiences from quarantining in Dallas, to being the sole Black person in an Oregon ecovillage, to building relationships with land and water on Vancouver Island. Through climate collapse and genocide, love and parenthood and ocean song, these poems confront and confound, calling in a deep sense of care for the Earth and for one another. In a world where some pull the trigger, some look away, some try to stop the gun--Hirsi asks: Which one are you?
