Kriss Kevorkian’s work on environmental grief, a term she coined through her own copious research, is nothing short of visionary. We need Kevorkian’s advocacy and tenderness for the natural world and all the creatures that reside within it now more than ever as we face off with the dire effects of climate change. ~ Jordan Rosenfeld, journalist and author
