The amazing editorial team at Dark Matter: Women Witnessing have pulled together an anthology of work from their first 10 years. I have one poem in the anthology – there are 66 other amazing women writers.
Dreams Before Extinction is an anthology of essays, poems, and artwork by women in response to ecological devastation. The collection is comprised of works selected from the first 10 years of publication of the online journal Dark Matter: Women Witnessing (www.darkmatterwomenwitnessing.com). Sixty-seven authors from six countries have contributed to this anthology of 79 pieces, in 572 pages, grouped into nine sections: To Witness, Fired Anew, The Grammar of Animacy, What We Know in Our Bones, Songs of Undoing, I am Nothing Without My Dead, Healing with Land and Ancestors, The Music of Grief, and What it Takes to Breach. Edited by Lise Weil, Gillian Goslinga, Kristin Flyntz, and Anne Bergeron, this book is a moving and inspiring collection of written and visual responses drawing on dreams, visions and activism, all in the name of healing our broken relationship to the earth
