Sarah Marie Wiebe
August 29th, 2024
In Hot Mess: Mothering Through a Code Red Climate Emergency (Fernwood Publishing $25.00), due out in September, Sarah Marie Wiebe reflects on her personal experience with the 2021 heat dome in British Columbia, the deadliest weather event in Canadian history. After giving birth, Wiebe and her baby faced extreme heat, leading to her hospitalization and separation from her nursing infant. This crisis, along with subsequent fires and floods, deeply influenced her approach to parenting and her political views on climate change. Wiebe uses her experiences to discuss intimate issues like informed consent, emergency medical procedures, and reproductive mental health, while advocating for ecofeminist perspectives and ethical relationships with the environment and each other. 9781773635668
