Beloved. Dearheart. Poetry book by Raeeka Yassaie

A poetry book WIRD did the deign for - very different to other stuff here but hey check it out.

If it’s going to be this hard, how are we supposed to show up?

In a world of polycrises – with multiple genocides happening in parallel, impending climate collapse and bad actors everywhere – who are we going to be?

As a climate justice organiser and activist for a free Iran, as a parent trying to raise a child in a world on trajectory to be unliveable… I ask myself this question every day. How will I resource myself? How will I keep up the flow of hope and love and fire – to keep being a part of the wave of humanity struggling to hold us back from the cliff edge.

Written by Raeeka (they/she). A poet, a parent and climate and social justice organiser. They write poetry that romances us into making consistent organising for a better world a part of our lives. An essential part of our humanity.
