Authors will consider the ways in which human experiences of hope and/or despair, ruin and/or regeneration affect the human form and mind, humanity and its socio-political psyche, the environment, climate change, and the Anthropocene. The anthology will be published in 2023 or early 2024. Please see the call for chapters, for a more detailed view of the project.
