Celermajer’s imagery is poetic yet economical. She allows the reader to recognise the urgency of the climate disaster without feeling overwhelmed … The phrase “essential reading” is a commonplace, but Summertime is just that – an awakening.
Alice Bishop, Australian Book Review
A poetic cadence complements the elegiac tone, as complex ideas – such as the degree to which ethical humans should accept responsibility for the harm caused to other species by climate change – are expressed with a calm and clear voice… This book, in my opinion, is timely, valuable, and beautiful.
Ian McFarlane, Canberra Times
