In Climate Kid, Alice Brooker channels the fierce urgency of a generation grappling with the planet's unraveling. Her poetry pulses with the raw rhythm of environmental activism, exploring the intersections of personal identity, consumerism, and ecological crisis. Each verse becomes a protest, a meditation on humanity's complicity in the Anthropocene, and a call to rewild our language and lives. Brooker's words, like seeds scattered in the wind, grow into a fierce critique of capitalist consumption and a plea for radical change, reminding us that we are as fragile—and resilient—as the earth we stand upon.
