This was an essay collection that covers topics including climate change, colonialism, grief, writing, and more. There are some really strong essays in here as well as a few that had points that I felt really needed more. So in this way, I think that some of this would have benefitted from being longer form to dig into nuances that are sometimes mentioned only briefly. But this covers a lot of really interesting and important ground overall, especially looking at the environment, the military, and what is happening politically in Guam
