Reviews

[Kristin · Rating 4 out of 5]

ARC from Scarlet Tanager Books. Semi-chronological sequence of poems by various authors on different ecological effects of human conflict. Important, educational, and often emotional. My favorites were the pieces that took a more abstract rather than narrational approach, such as those from the POV of animals. Back matter has discussion questions and writing prompts, which I will return to.
