Restor-volution. That was the concept we began developing in Issue #3 of Counterflow. We challenged writers, poets, and visual artists to rethink how we relate to our planet. Twenty-two fantastic contributors did just that, but there is still so much more that needs saying! 

 

Counterflow’s issue #4 asks the question: What narratives, what words will we recite as the Restor-volution rolls forward? What are the sagas we want future generations to recite? Which tales will light a path to heal both physical and psychic wounds, imagine scenarios to restore harmony, balance, and equity for all species that share this world, and honour the wisdom of generations who understood that humanity and nature are not divisible, but are inextricably connected?

 

Send us your poetry, flash fiction, creative non-fiction, and visual art for Counterflow’s issue #4: “Phrases for the Future.” Please read the following guidelines and use the link on this page to submit.
