Happy Publication Day to METAMORPHOSIS: CLIMATE FICTION FOR A BETTER FUTURE, edited by GRIST. milkweed.org/book/metamorphosis
“These stories are grounded in soul, a deep communion with the belief that we can—and must—rebuild our relationship with the planet.”—Omar El Akkad, author of What Strange Paradise
Otherworldly but remarkably familiar, ancestral but firmly rooted in alternate futures, these twelve innovative stories—winners of the Imagine 2200 climate fiction contest organized by Grist—offer a glimpse of a future built on sustainability, inclusivity, and justice. A beekeeper finds purpose and new love after collaborating on a bee-based warning system for floods. An Indian family preserves its traditions through food, dance, and the latest communication fads. After an oceanic rapture, a lone survivor adapts to living in a tree on a small island with a vulture he befriends. Flickers of hope, even joy, illuminate these alternate realities.

🧊 Now available in paperback: THE QUICKENING: ANTARCTICA, MOTHERHOOD, AND CULTIVATING HOPE IN A WARMING WORLD by Elizabeth Rush 🧊
Fifty-seven scientists and crew set out onboard the Nathaniel B. Palmer. Their destination: the ominous Thwaites Glacier at Antarctica’s western edge. Their goal: to learn as much as possible about this mysterious place, never before visited by humans. And with them is author Elizabeth Rush, who seeks, among other things, the elusive voice of the ice.
What emerges is a new kind of Antarctica story, one preoccupied not with flag planting and heroism but with the collective and challenging work of imagining a better future. Urgent, brave, and vulnerable, THE QUICKENING is an absorbing account of hope from one of our most celebrated and treasured contemporary authors.
Pick up your copy of this stunning new paperback edition—featuring new color photography from the voyage—wherever you like to get your books today and learn more here: milkweed.org/book/the-quickening.
