Coles Climate of Lament: Reflections on Ecological Grief at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
In this unique collection of poetry and prose, twenty-two contributors from diverse fields and countries respond to the climate crisis with voices of honesty and care. Each chapter pairs a personal poetic lament with a reflective essay that reveals the author’s connection to place, and to the wider world community. These laments are grounded in the particular, yet they speak to the shared grief of a planet in distress. Drawing on the insights of theologian Walter Brueggemann, the editors weave these contributions into a journey through Reality, Grief, Hope . The introduction and conclusion invite readers to see environmental issues not only as data but as deeply human concerns that call for mourning, but also for a renewed imagination. Climate of Lament is not merely a diagnosis of the world’s pain but also an invitation to inhabit lament as an act of courage and hope.
