Brilliant way to fight back! Full disclosure: I'm the publisher and one of the authors and poets included in this first volume. But, if I'm being very honest, my own pieces aren't my favorites in the anthology. You will love these pieces. I am so struck by the variety; these authors and poets attacked our current moment from such varried angles, and it provides a valuable insight into how we're all experiencing this. Check it out and see which piece speaks most to you!

In this engaging anthology of poetry and short fiction, nineteen writers use their words to push back against creeping fascism.
Some stories, such as “Night School” by Kent Karnofski, “Midnight at the Barricades” by Christopher Scott Thompson, and “Le Coyote” by M. K. Martin imagine near-future horrors: learning history, literature, and math in secret when public schools are outlawed; fighting and dying to protect small outposts of freedom; illegally crossing into Canada for needed reproductive care. Others, like the moving “Those Who Mourn” by Joanna Michel Hoyt, are set in the here and now. From harsh and gritty to warm and hopeful, this collection offers an array of imaginative lenses through which to view our current authoritarian moment.
I am pleased and proud to have a story in this volume.

"Glossy as a Lisa Frank drawing in the moonlight" (Rachel A. Rosen), an orca makes a kissy face at you throughout the ebook, so don't read it from your yacht. These stories and poems are very much about the pain of the present political moment. The waters are rough. I may find I owe something to someone. I have to figure out what it is and give it, creatively. I'll need some lifetimes to gain the "means of spaceflight" (Casey Aimer). I'll also need someone to put their flipper in my hand to boost me to the surface.
