​Farah is passionate about challenging our tendency towards climate anxiety and doomism, and exploring the historical factors that caused our present crisis. She believes that change starts with paying attention to the place you call home, and that this very moment is the time to start building a future we can all thrive in. 

Her debut collection of poetry exploring the idea of value at the intersection of capitalism, colonialism, and climate change, Shadow Price, is forthcoming from House of Anansi Press in the spring of 2025. Preorder here.
