For far too long, Asian Americans have been overlooked in conversations on climate change and the natural world. In a Yale School of Climate Change Communication report that purports to reveal which racial groups care most about climate change, for instance, the results for Asian Americans were unavailable, raising concerns over the low sample size. However, the inability to retrieve data on Asian communities whether because of language barriers or questions over which ethnic groups are considered Asian American reveals a more insidious concern: that Asian Americans have always been an afterthought in the national imagination.

Once upon a time, there was no city. There were only dreams, gardens,
a flower market.

Amlanjyoti Goswami and Hannah Regel, whose dazzling poems feature in the spring 2021 issue of
The Poetry Review, are the latest contributors to the
Review’s online ‘Mixtape’ series – the poetry equivalent to Desert Island Discs.
Among the ten poems that knock Amlanjyoti “out cold, with their sheer power, intensity and beauty” are Wisława Szymborska’s ‘Under one small star’, Li-Young Lee’s ‘The Gift’ and Naomi Shihab Nye’s ‘Kindness’ – a poem “so utterly beautiful in an act of immanent grace, the kind that comes only from loss and a spirit of sharing”.
