Tired of dystopian sci-fi? You might like Solarpunk. A recent literary genre imagines what happens when our climate changes—and so do we.

A hand holding a copy of the Solarpunk Transformation Trilogy by Shel Graves at the library. It's a large yellow book with a collage of photos on the cover: a red flower in a volcanic setting, a sandy beach with blue waves, and a harbor seal swimming though reflective grey waters.

Happy accident! One of my spouse's co-workers picked up my book off the sci-fi shelves at the library because it looked different and interesting (and didn't realize the connection until later). An author's dream--to be discovered on the shelves!

Thanks! I'll look...

It came up during a NYE discussion!

Solarpunk friends, who wrote or knows which story features the ability to place children in cyrostasis? Likely in Solarpunk Summers or Winters... @sarenaulibarri.bsky.social? I'm looking, but if it rings a bell... #solarpunk #solarpunksummers #solarpunkwinters

"And that's part of our trouble. Thinking things are inevitable. Not believing change is possible." — character, Lenore Dove, at the beginning of Suzanne Collins' novel Sunrise on the Reaping (Hunger Games prequel) & something @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social keeps reminding us. Change is possible.

Just finished Girl in the Creek by @wnwagner.bsky.social, just loved the setting (small town Oregon, Clackamas Wilderness) and characters (human and animal). Read some PNW PCT missing persons nonfiction this year and here's a speculative addition 💚🌲

Yes! And definitely solarpunk!

La forme de cet objet éditorial découle l'analyse de la nouvelle Watch Out,…" Histoire de possibles pt.2 ☆Deuxième partie du projet ! 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

Why yes, this is boss level gifting for your author friend — necklaces with their books’ ISBN numbers. And, of course, reading, purchasing, requesting at your library, posting, and reviewing are wonderful ways to show love. #solarpunk #optimisticscifi #authorfriends #gratitude #booklove
