Abstract
To be alive and aware today is to live in a wounded world. Let’s discuss how we engage eco-grief, solastalgia, more-than-human beings, and how we write with awareness of our human identities, biases, and limitations. Humankind’s complicity in the desecration of other living beings carries lamentation, anxiety and depression. We’ll discuss approaches that acknowledge our grief, our attempts toward healing, and the communities we call home: Cape Cod to New Mexico to Washington State.
