In honor of the feature film FALL OUT written and directed by Vilsoni Hereniko, based on the award-winning novel MELAL by Robert Barclay

Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner’s poetry focuses on militarism and the nuclear legacy, climate change, and prejudice against Micronesians, especially in the United States. In September 2014, she was chosen from more than 500 applicants around the world to perform at the opening of the United Nations Climate Change Summit in New York. A standing ovation erupted, and since then she has become a powerful voice in global conversations on climate change.
