Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth
Climate anxiety is real—and this practical, accessible guide helps address it on personal, relational, and structural levels, from the founder of the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth. Summer after summer is the hottest on record. People’s homes are flooding, burning, blowing away. We live with the loss, pain, and grief of what’s happened, and anxiety for what might happen next, as the systems in which we live are increasingly strained. Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth addresses our collective concerns with empathy, grace, and practical strategies to help us all envision a viable future. By moving through your personal and general climate anxiety, frustration, helplessn...
The Soft Place
Poetry. "In my mind, THE SOFT PLACE makes traces around what works to keep us together or keep us going: kindness, stitches ('this inner thing is mine'), seeds, family lines, and the symmetries and asymptotes therein. With intimacy and intelligence, Schapira reminds us of those mirrors (between us and us, us and others or lovers, us and the wound or the world) that sometimes hold together, sometimes shatter: 'Nature doesn't mirror us, but it senses us.' She holds the shards between pictures up to each other in reciprocity, responsiveness; that is to say, she holds it together." Eleni Sikelianos"
Handbook for Hands that Alter as We Hold Them Out
Poetry. "A spell that works every time isn't a spell, yet a potent text may reliably reveal a state in which the unknown works in us as elixir, marking, remaking us. Make no mistake, these words are alive like a million mouths of velvet. Open this book and simultaneously open your consciousness to murky spore printed technology for speaking with the dead, the wayward, omens, bed-burnt ignorance and women with extra heads. Schapira's adroit visceral poems delve courageously into empathetic ecology, mixing rot with root-lightning and unveiling hidden realms, which like rich soil provide necessary gestational darkness. Who will you be when you finish reading this book? You may leave your heart or swallow it again." Laynie Browne"
Fill
Poetry. Everything is future waste and nothing disappears in FILL: A COLLECTION, a poetic collaboration between Erika Howsare and Kate Schapira. The two writers sent their words on waste, profligacy, persistence, reclamation and degradation back and forth with full license to alter and no permission to throw any word away. The result is a double-minded meditation on and breakdown of the divisions between valuable and valueless, here and gone.
How We Saved the City
Poems.
Town
Poetry. Kate Schapira asked about a hundred people to describe an imaginary town. Sixty-three of them did. She built their contributions into poems that explore how we live differently in the same world, who we mean when we say we, what we mean when we say "here."
The Bounty
Poetry. THE BOUNTY: FOUR ADDRESSES begins with the assumption that each human has a price on their head—the same price. Rushes and crystallizations of language probe our potential to do harm, or to lose our own minds, or respond to, refuse, erode or affirm the reality of another person. In four sections that move from chance encounters through love and fear to deliberate reflection, this book asks what states or what actions, our own or someone else's, can make any one of us less real than any other.
Teaching the Literature of Climate Change
Over the past several decades, writers such as Margaret Atwood, Paolo Bacigalupi, Octavia E. Butler, and Kathy Jetn̄il-Kijiner have explored climate change through literature, reflecting current anxieties about humans' impact on the planet. Emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinarity, this volume embraces literature as a means to cultivate students' understanding of the ongoing climate crisis, ethics in times of disaster, and the intrinsic intersectionality of environmental issues. Contributors discuss speculative climate futures, the Anthropocene, postcolonialism, climate anxiety, and the usefulness of storytelling in engaging with catastrophe. The essays offer approaches to teaching interdisciplinary and cross-listed courses, including strategies for team-teaching across disciplines and for building connections between humanities majors and STEM majors. The volume concludes with essays that explore ways to address grief and to contemplate a hopeful future in the face of apocalyptic predictions.
