This post comes to you from EcoArtScotland
Do you think about the rising waters? Do you write about them? Do they become images in your work? Do overflowing rivers and flooded fields haunt you. They haunt Paul Kingsnorth.
Dark Mountain issue five is currently at the printers, and will be hitting the streets (or our online shop, anyway) in early April. In the meantime, we are putting out a call for writing and art for book 6, which will be published this coming October.
The loose theme this time around is “The Rising of the Waters.” We’re looking for writing and art which seriously engages with the likelihood of a gradual, messy winding-down of everything we take for granted. You can read more about what we’re looking for in this blog entry.
As ever, we welcome submissions from writers and artists both new and established. Please read our submissions guidelines before sending us anything. The deadline for submissions in Sunday 4th May. We look forward to seeing what floats in on the tides.
