    WORDS FOR WOES
    Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner is a poet from the Marshall Islands, a place which is suffering the effects of climate change and rising sea levels. Invited to testify at the opening ceremony of the UN Secretary General's Climate Summit in September 2014, she proclaimed this vibrant poem addressed to her newborn daughter. The reading was met with a standing ovation at the time. Today, these verses are considered a landmark text for the expression of solastalgia.
