Guided by questions of respect for water, collective health, and just relationship, Rita Wong has written several books of poetry attending to the intersections of life, language, and land, and co- edited the anthology Downstream: Reimagining Water with Dorothy Christian (Wilfred Laurier University Press, 2017). She is dedicated to collective action to address both the climate crisis and systemic inequities through an economy of care and solidarity. From the Burrard inlet to the Gitxsan lax’yip, we are all endangered by the TMX and PRGT pipelines, which we cannot afford if we want a livable planet.
