My Article on Greg Sarris’s How a Mountain Was Made: Stories Is Published

M
I don’t publish very much. The fact I have two DW posts on publications in a row is partly coincidence and partly that the yawning sense of duty to have some sort of “author platform” is galvanizing me to post when I don’t otherwise feel I have time. (Would love to do an update post on recent viewing!)

That preamble said, I am very happy to have my short article on Greg Sarris’s book How a Mountain Was Made: Stories up at SFRA Review. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Though I published in a sci-fi journal, it is not sci-fi, but it is a beautiful, hopeful work on indigenous futurism that truly changed my relationship with Sonoma Mountain in California, the mountain in whose foothills I grew up.
