For Solstice Shorts 2021 we invited writers to respond to the growing climate crisis.
From an exceptionally strong field we chose stories and poems that respond to the floods and droughts and fires all around the globe with tenderness, compassion, fear, grief and rage. Gaia is represented in all ther power and glory, and butterflies and plants sow seeds of hope, while other writers ask:
How do we stop it? How do we survive it? And how do we live beyond the catastrophe on our horizon?
