With three roads and a population of just over 500 people, Shishmaref, Alaska seems like an unlikely center of the climate change debate. But the island, home to Iñupiaq Eskimos who still live off subsistence harvesting, is falling into the sea, and climate change is, at least in part, to blame. While countries sputter and stall over taking environmental action, Shishmaref is out of time. Publications from the New York Times to Esquire have covered this disappearing village, yet few have taken the time to truly show the community and the two millennia of traditions at risk. In Fierce Climate, Sacred Ground, Elizabeth Marino brings Shishmaref into sharp focus as a place where people in a close-knit, determined community are confronting the realities of our changing planet every day. She shows how physical dangers challenge lives, while the stress and uncertainty challenge culture and identity. Marino also draws on Shishmaref’s experiences to show how disasters and the outcomes of climate change often fall heaviest on those already burdened with other social risks and often to communities who have contributed least to the problem. Stirring and sobering, Fierce Climate, Sacred Ground proves that the consequences of unchecked climate change are anything but theoretical.

This open access book explores the intersection of property law, relocation, and resettlement processes in the United States and among communities that grapple with migration as an adaptation strategy. As communities face the prospect of relocating because of rising seas, policy makers, disaster specialists, and community leaders are scrambling to understand what adaptation pathways are legally possible. While in its ideal application, law functions blindly and without variation, the authors find that legal contradictions come to bear on resettlement processes and place certain communities further in harm’s way. This book will unearth these contradictions in order to understand why successful community-based resettlement has presented such a challenge to communities that are experiencing increasing land deterioration as a result of climate change.

The story Why Am I So Small? Why Am I So Tall? is about characters going through life being too short and too tall to do all the things they want. Throughout the story, the characters begin to find themselves in different situations where being small or being tall start to work in their favor. By the end of the story, the characters realize there is always a purpose for the way you look, either being too short or being too tall.

A hybrid print collection of lyric poems and haiku, with short memoir pieces, drawn from a life of social engagement, resilience and grace. Marino approaches love, work, housing instability, and mental illness through a lens of class, color and gender.

"the Chosen Few" is a 2015 poetry and performance art collection book from Scars Publications (http://scars.tv) of select writings as a snapshot of some of the live performances/readings during features at "the Cafe Gallery" open mic, which ran every other Wednesday evening (plus bonus weeks) at the Gallery Cabaret in Chicago, with weekly podcast videos and YouTube videos, from 2012 through 2015.Performers appearing in this collection chose one piece of writing from their shows for this collection book. On (very occasional) weeks where there was no scheduled feature, all open mic poets had 10 minute "mini features", and some writers had features over multiple years, so some writers appear on a few dates in this book. This collection book groups poems by author, and the date of the reading appears on the headers of this book. Because this open mic was also usually video recorded for weekly podcast videos and permanent YouTube clips; each show date with a YouTube video will have on line video links accompanying the writing.This collection does not include poems from every feature poet during the 4 years this open mic ran with YouTube videos and weekly podcast videos - features were asked to include their writing in this collection, and this collection only contains writings from performers who sent their writing to this collection book.This open mic has run in Chicago since December 1996, but this is the first and only open mic collection anthology of this nature to highlight the Chicago poetry scene.Writers and artists included in this book (listed in the order they appear in the calendar) are Ned Haggard, Elizabeth Harper, David(Buddha 309) Hargarten, Christine Swanberg, Tom Roby, Jenene Raveslootv, Robert Lawrence, Jeff Helgeson, Annabelle Echo, Marianne Schaefer, Patrick Hurley, Bill Yarrow, Dan Cleary, Oz Hardwick, CousinBones, Wes Heine, Susan T.
