Thanks for the link, Nausheen. I certainly feel this way: "I think many poets, myself included, are struggling with how to keep writing in the face of the environmental degradation that is looming over us and our children..." And I was glad to read this: "Poetry is extremely hardy—it was around before the alphabet and will outlast many kinds of human technology. I am robustly optimistic about poetry, but that is maybe the only thing I am optimistic about."
