June's newsletter covers a few new #ecofiction novels and a long piece about the film #Sinners (with spoilers), probably now my favorite movie of all times. buttondown.com/dragonfly.ec... #blues #freedom

And So I Roar book cover, background of pink, foreground of the book and author, with black woman and house.

Black and white line drawings of mountains and trees.

Very old photo of Robert Johnson, early blues musician. He's sitting on a table playing the guitar.

Collage representing concept art for the film: top row has a black man's hand playing a chord on the guitar neck, woman African dancer, fields of Irish heather. Second row has a church, a crossroads, and a woman who practices hoodoo lighting a candle. Third row has sparks of fire in the night sky, fireflies at night, and a woman's vampire face with red eyes.

Let's not linger too long in sadness. This time I wasn't even surprised. We need to rise up. Again. And keep doing that. Photo from the woman's march in Washington DC 2017; half a million of us. This energy is still alive.

I've run Dragonfly.eco for over a decade. It's all about eco/climate/environmental fiction. Each month I do a spotlight on world fiction, and this month I talked with Suniti Namjoshi about her newest novella The Good-Hearted Gardeners: witty, with talking animals and gardeners in London. Love it.
