Roam America's rich landscape in verse For the nature enthusiast, the climate activist, and the poetry lover, Haikus and Hope: 50 States of Climate Change offers a unique exploration of the United States through the evocative lens of haiku. Author, activist, and explorer Maggie Dewane takes readers along on her journey to visit all 50 states as she both experiences the landscape in it's current state, as well as imagining its future. Haikus and Hope doesn't shy away from contemporary challenges. A companion haiku for each state confronts the environmental threats it faces, prompting reflection and dialogue. The juxtaposition between the geography that we might know and admire about certain places with the vulnerability and threat of that changing or even disappearing sheds light on all the reasons we need to preserve and protect these special places. This collection is a celebration of America's natural wonders, a call to action in the face of climate change, and a testament to the power of poetry to move us.
