Vol. 1. – Planet Cosmic/Elemental/Planetary Kinship

With every breath, every sip of water, every meal, we are reminded that our lives are inseparable from the life of the world—and the cosmos—in ways both material and spiritual. What are the sources of our deepest evolutionary and planetary connections, and of our profound longing for kinship?

  • I didn't really like reading this book! It felt like I had to keep pushing myself to keep reading.
  • It's very focused on plant life and sometimes things like water. I would have liked more focus on connecting to the natural world from the streets.
  • The whiteness and white people speaking on behalf of BIPOC folx and their experiences is overwhelming.
  • I enjoyed Kyle Whyte, Trebbe Johnson, and Alison Hawthron Deming's chapters the most

  • There's a lot of repetition and cross citing. I would have liked more cohesion and more community-oriented collaboration.
  • I liked the inclusion of poems as a break.

The first volume is on "planet" and combines thoughts on this pale blue dot from thinkers, writers, artists, poets and philosophers.

Overall, the writing is of a very high standard and the collection is well presented. Standout essays include Andrew S. Yang's Kinshape, which is a conversetion with stardust as kin, via his mother. Co-editor Robin Wall Kimmerer's part-speculative fiction about humans being invited back into the family by other creatures that share this space is thoughtful and wonderful. Ceridwen Dovey's essay on giving rights to the moon raises fascinating questions and is written with a beautiful sense of care. However some of the essays fail to land, particularly the "celebrity" …
