Introduction excerpt:
In this time of Covid-19, there is an inevitable weaving together in our psyche, and hence our poetry, of the fears, frustrations and sense of urgency involved in the pandemic and the crisis of our changing climate. In both cases, humans have a collective responsibility to change, to adapt, to help, and to build a more resilient society. In Voices of the Earth: The Future of Our Planet II, the poets urge us to wake up, to pay attention and to hear what the earth is telling us.

The tension within those of us in the global north who'd rather not be implicated in what our countries do in the global south was perhaps never better captured than by Carolyn Forché', who wrote from Central America: “while birds and warmer weather
are forever moving north,
the cries of those who vanish
might take years to get here.”
