Words from the Brink : Stories and Poems from Solstice Shorts Festival 2021

We’ve given the planet a hard time over the last couple of centuries, and she’s showing the wear and tear of her least considerate offspring.

We asked our authors: Where are the signs of renewal? Are there signs of regrowth? Have we pushed nature too far? What if it’s already too late?

Poems and stories from the brink... a tipping point: responding 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? Are we heading for recovery or extinction?
