Building from polar explorer Will Steger's powerful firsthand accounts of climate change, this book is a collection of short stories, poems, and artwork that speak to the diverse range of backgrounds and perspectives of Minnesotans and their experiences of climate change.

Eyewitness is a demonstration of literary activism with a mix of works from prominent and ordinary people. Organized into themes that mimic the emotional trajectory of our climate experience (gratitutde, loss, responsibility, resilience, and hope), Eyewitness speaks to the urgency of the climate crisis in aheartfelt way and demands a bold call for action.
