Climate of the Body parallels a woman's illnesses over three decades with a planet in crisis. Born on Lake Ontario's chemically contaminated shores in the 1960s, the author explores how environmental toxins wrote themselves into her body decades before she understood their cost. As unpredictable symptoms storm through her system and heat waves intensify worldwide, she discovers that both are victims of industrial excess and human-centred imbalance. Moreover, that healing ourselves and healing the planet aren't separate, but the same sacred work. Throughout the book a fictionalized Mother Earth speaks in poetic, angry monologues as a spirited woman losing faith in humans. Following Rachel Carson's tradition in Silent Spring, this lyrical memoir weaves environmental health research and Indigenous knowledge with intimate observations of a body and world in transition. This reflective, humourous, and startlingly joyous work asks: how might we heal ourselves by mending our vital kinship with the natural world?
