The deepening climate crisis is making all kinds of work harder, more dangerous and more unpredictable — or if it hasn’t yet, it will soon enough. And all kinds of workers have something to say about it. I’ll Get Right On It is a poetry anthology about making a living and carrying on despite smoky air, fires, climate grief, species loss and increased precarity. Connecting the dots between labour and environment, this anthology invites us to think and feel through the many ways climate change transforms our working lives.
