Equal parts prayer and protest, the poems in DREAMS FOR EARTH invite us to live fully in the power, responsibility, and joy of our interconnectedness.
In her debut poetry collection, Fatima-Ayan Malika Hirsi chronicles experiences from quarantining in Dallas, to being the sole Black person in an Oregon ecovillage, to building relationships with land and water on Vancouver Island. Through climate collapse and genocide, love and parenthood and ocean song, these poems confront and confound, calling in a deep sense of care for the Earth and for one another. In a world where some pull the trigger, some look away, some try to stop the gun--Hirsi asks: Which one are you?
Fatima-Ayan Malika Hirsi is a Black mother who spends time with forests and waters on land of the T'Sou-ke Nation. Her work strives to instigate action in service to world-building, social change, and collaboration. Her poems live in Obsidian: Literature & Arts in the African Diaspora, MAYDAY, Torch, Rise Up Review, and other portals. She is a fellow of the Pink Door Writing Retreat, the Anaphora Arts Writing Residency, and In Surreal Life. She is the author of the chapbooks EVERYTHING GOOD IS DYING and Moon Woman, and her debut full-length collection, DREAMS FOR EARTH, is forthcoming from Deep Vellum in 2025.
