Welling Up is the first anthology composed of poems submitted to Palewell Press, with selection based on our core values of Justice, Equality and Sustainability. Twenty-eight contributors write on the Refugee Crisis, Human Rights, War, Global Warming, Species Extinction, and Nature. At few moments in human history has any society had enough resources and a sufficiently developed sense of fairness so that none of its members felt excluded or short-changed. But now, due to climate change, the natural world’s resources on which our safety and happiness depend are more threatened than ever. To have any hope of delivering Justice and Equality to the world’s citizens, including refugees and displaced people, and also protection to other, increasingly endangered, species, we need to collaborate towards Environmental Sustainability.
