In Climate Lyricism Min Hyoung Song articulates a climate
change-centered reading practice that foregrounds how climate is
present in most literature. Song shows how literature, poetry, and
essays by Tommy Pico, Solmaz Sharif, Frank O'Hara, Ilya Kaminsky,
Claudia Rankine, Kazuo Ishiguro, Teju Cole, Richard Powers, and
others help us to better grapple with our everyday encounters with
climate change and its disastrous effects, which are inextricably
linked to the legacies of racism, colonialism, and extraction.
These works employ what Song calls climate lyricism-a mode of
address in which a first-person "I" speaks to a "you" about how
climate change thoroughly shapes daily life. The relationship
between "I" and "you" in this lyricism, Song contends, affects the
ways readers comprehend the world, fostering a model of shared
agency from which it can become possible to collectively and
urgently respond to the catastrophe of our rapidly changing
climate. In this way, climate lyricism helps to ameliorate the
sense of being overwhelmed and feeling unable to do anything to
combat climate change.
