I now am the proud owner of the four first volumes that have been printed of Emergence Magazine.
Volume One Emergence Magazine
I actually purchased Vol. 3 first, since it was published as we came out of the COVID pandemic and were realizing the extent of the Climate Crisis. It had a "Living in the Apocalypse tone" to it.
Here's a bit of inspiration I enjoyed reading...
There are many interviews, but mainly essays. And photos and paintings. All things art. Arranged on different grades of archival papers. Sewn visibly into folios. Dr. Martin Shaw is a myth story teller in England, who I've come to love!
Binding of Vol. 4
Inupiaq subsistence hunters scout an enormous crack at the edge of the thinning sea ice. Photo by Kiliii Yuyan
No more quotes today!
That last photo is amazing, I would be scared to look for a crack in the ice. Take care, have a great day and happy new week!
ReplyDeleteI think the indigenous people would know what their limitations are, as well as be aware of climate changes infringing upon their normal territories to hunt and fish. Not me either, thank heavens...to look closer.
Delete...the covers grab your attention.
ReplyDeleteSome of the art is very hard to understand, like where permafrost has undermined forests, or where seashores have retreated, or where rivers are polluted. I think I prefer reading most of the essays.
DeleteThat Joy Harbor poem...I had my students read it at one of my last writing workshops. We stood in a circle, and took turns reading one line at a time. It was a powerful way to end the week together, and a memory I cherish. Thank you for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteI think I've shared Joy Harjo's poem before. That's a great way to share it with students who are wanting to be authors or poets. I have some good memories of different groups and classes that I've either led or attended also. That seems to keep coming up to my attention today.
DeleteSounds like some good reading in those magazines. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI seldom just sit down to read...usually am doing a breathing treatment at the same time. But that means waiting till the next day to read the rest of an essay or story. The last one in Vol. 3 was so gripping, I did read to the ending because I knew there would be no more in that issue.
DeleteIntriguing reading.
ReplyDeleteI sure enjoy it, hope sharing a few photos might be interesting.
