La forme de cet objet éditorial découle l'analyse de la nouvelle Watch Out, Red Crusher écrite par Shel Graves.Résumé du récit : "C’est une histoire qui prend place dans un futur lointain dans lequel l’humanité à trouvé un autre moyen d’alimenter ses cités en énergie. Dans cette alternative, des injections de particules sont faites dès la naissance dans le corps des nouveaux nés : cette injection leur permet par la suite de générer de l’énergie par photosynthèse. Le revers de la médaille cependant : les émotions sont désormais visibles sur la peau une fois la nuit tombée. Les couleurs jaillissent alors dans l’obscurité. Une mauvaise émotion rend son propriétaire sujet aux discriminations. On suit pendant quelques jours Andee, une jeune fille qui à des difficultés à rester au vert. S’en suivra de nombreuses péripéties, discussions, rencontres et introspection au travers de ses yeux et de ceux de ses proches."Cette histoire fait constamment référence à la couleur : un jeu de ping pong se fait dans la lecture, passant rapidement d'une teinte à l'autre.Les images sont abstraites et mettent l'accent sur la nature lumineuse et sentimentale des personnages.Basé sur le triangle, cette proposition qui met en avant une manipulation tangible implique les lecteur.ices autour d'un centre de rotation qui n'est plus seulement de l'ordre de tourner les pages.Cette forme éditoriale propose un modèle de lecture à plusieurs en se déployant sur 3 cahiers distincts. Chaque saut de cahier est mis en exergue en fin de paragraphe pour se repérer.Cahiers au format fini 17x22 cm, 64 pages, socle en carton gris.* La nouvelle provient du recueil "Glass And Gardens: Solarpunk Summers", une anthologie éditée par Sarena Ulibarri.View all comments

Graphic designer Océane Dubujet created an art project inspired by Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers ed. @sarenaulibarri.bsky.social and referencing my story "Watch Out, Red Crusher!". I love it! New hashtag #inspiredbysolarpunk #solarpunk #solarpunkart www.instagram.com/p/DLaMkQwIAj...

I've been doing low-key solar advocacy & education since I got my rooftop panels in 2022.

Despite the fascists, solar is barreling ahead, remaking the world, taking power from the people destroying it.

Solar curious? I'm happy to answer questions!

Thank you for writing!

from You Are Here: Poetry in the Natural World - The Rumpus The Rumpus, in partnership with Milkweed Editions, is pleased to preview this anthology with poems from Paul Tran, Cecily Parks, and Erika Meitner.

Love this poem about "The little things in our ecosystem" Manifesto of Fragility / Terraform by Erika Meitner @rika99.bsky.social in You Are Here: Poetry in the Natural World #poetry #poems @therumpus.net therumpus.net/2024/03/29/f...

The Future Is Coming and It's (Literally) Sunny: Notes on the Solar Revolution I drove home to San Francisco from New Mexico last weekend, and in the western Mojave desert of California I passed in quick succession three vast renewable energy sites: the first was three solar con...

The solar revolution means that power can be decentralized, democratized, distributed far more justly. So it makes perfect and hideous sense, given the nostalgia of authoritarians for a golden age (of exclusion, exploitation, and inequality ), to tie themselves to all fossil fuel's problems.

I'm never so bold as to claim that the things I enjoy are objectively "the best," but Five Books asked me for a list of #solarpunk books I recommend, so I listed five I think more people should read.

All novels, too, instead of short stories! I also talk a bit about one of my own books. #booksky

Beautiful. #poetry

A group of friends gathered around a table of books in a backyard party the author of the solar transformation trilogy in the center in bright yellow, holding up the books and smiling.

@teffeau.bsky.social ‘s reading of A Hunger with No Name (which has a glass city) was backdropped by Seattle’s own glass towers. She also read an excerpt of her upcoming story, Accelerated Growth Environment, coming March 2026 from Shiraki Press! #booksky #ecothriller #solarpunk #hopepunk #novella

Incredibly excited (and still a bit stunned to be honest 🙀) to announce that the collection of my #solarpunk short stories "Futures to Live By" by NewCon Press is now available for pre-order in paperback or a signed limited edition hardback:
