NURSERY NEWS
NOW ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS!
“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.” - Antonio Gramsci/Slavoj Žižek
What does it mean to live in a time of monsters? What, or who, are these monsters and what do they portend? Who were we before this moment in history, and how is it changing us as we inhabit it? How are we, transfixed by the present, altering the future? What, if any, are the relationships between monsters of the spiritual, ecological, political, and symbolic variety? How do life forms change and respond to "monstrous" conditions? What patterns in plant growth, animal behavior, fungal presence, bacterial presence, hydrology, etc. demand your attention? Should we trust a hurricane? Are lanternflies comrades? What about bigfoots? What is to be done?
Interesting times call for interesting art and interesting writing. All accepted submissions will receive a free copy of the 'zine and a Little Bluestem t-shirt!
