Reckoning 5

"We all know that biodiversity is endangered, but our hyper-urban lifestyles are making us so out of touch with the natural world that it's sometimes easier to imagine complete environmental destruction than to look at the environment we still do have. And how can we be expected to protect what we don't even see?" --fiction editor Cécile Cristofari""The little seed you're carrying around, waiting to replant. The spaces cupped full of joy in motion. Something holy in your pocket; a little-god reminder of why we do the work and what's worth working for. That which is coming. That which has been quietly growing all along. That which is beautiful amidst the noise-all seen through the lens of environmental justice." -- poetry editor Leah Bobet
