Staying with the Trouble :: Review

March 27, 2021March 26, 2021 Yarrow

A review of Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene, by Donna Haraway. In many ways a companion to The Mushroom at the End of the World, this book provides several models of how to practice "sympoiesis."

Reinventing the Sacred :: Review

November 6, 2020February 22, 2021 Yarrow

A review of Stuart Kauffman's book, Reinventing the Sacred. Although an engaging exploration of emergence, Kauffman's pantheism does not cut it for Terranism.
