“Westchester County’s reputation as an affluent suburb of New York City ignores the economic and social disparities that shape our communities. While the climate crisis imperils everyone, the fact remains—in this county, as across the globe—that those who have the least stand to lose the most. Westchester is also home to large populations of recent immigrants, many of whose homelands have been impacted by climate change, or for whom climate change has compelled their migration itself. Poets speak to this intersection and help us recognize it for what it is.”
