2015

The 30% Non-Dead-Tree Issue (0% Dead Tree Edition), guest-edited by Michael J. DeLuca. It’s no watershed moment, much as I’d love it to be; Conjunctions just did one they were even-keeled enough to call The Nature Issue. And there have been anthologies, and even the occasional novel-length text, every few years since the anthropocene started: ideas in narrative form I’d probably never have thought to lump together into anything until I spent a month reading submissions for an LCRW issue I claimed would be themed on “humanity’s relationship with the earth”. It was gratifying and calming to learn that people other than me and not just the talking heads do think about these things. In fact, the experience bordered on the sublime; it restored (some of) my faith in humanity. This is what art, speculative literature in particular, is for: unrestrained thought in a form that if we let it will touch every part of what makes us human and thereby foment more of the same. I asked for optimism, I expected cynicism, I got both. We’re not going to make it through this thing without a sense of humor. I tried to find complexity and overlook the easy answers. fiction Carmen Maria Machado, “I Bury Myself” Alena McNamara, “Starling Road” Giselle Leeb, “Ape Songs” Michelle Vider, “For Me, Seek the Sun” Deborah Walker, “Medea” D.

I was born in Scotland and moved to the USA after university. I live in the lovely town of Northampton, MA, and run Small Beer Press. We publish six to ten books a year and usually manage to put out two issues of our zine, LCRW . I edited two huge anthologies for Candlewick with my wife, Kelly Link: Steampunk! An Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories and Monstrous Affections: An Anthology of Beastly Tales. This profile and listing of books is limited to Small Beer Press titles and perhaps some associated titles.
