Killing the Planet: Writing the Sixth Mass Extinction
A generative workshop with ALOCASIA, a journal of queer planty writing
ALOCASIA Presents Killing the Planet: Writing the Sixth Mass Extinction, with Ashley Adams
How do we articulate the devastation caused by ongoing environmental violence? How do we mourn the lives of billions of creatures lost solely for temporary profit? How can we grieve the futures that will not be while creating a new world worth fighting for? Killing the Planet: Writing the Sixth Mass Extinction is a generative writing workshop that gives writers a framework for braiding ecological disaster into personal narratives. Writers will be invited to be witnesses to extinctions great and small and imagine how we might pull ourselves away from the edge of collapse.
Ashely Adams is a Michigan-based writer and educator whose work explores both present and ancient ecologies. Her writing has appeared in Flyway, The Fourth River, and other places.
