Emergence Magazine Vol. 5

In an unraveling world we must begin to reimagine our most foundational ways of being. And what is more foundational than Time? Separated from the fabric of the cosmos, the vast mystery of Time has been distilled into a tool of control. But what kind of Time listens and moves in tune with the Earth; travels not in a straight line, but in a circle? Time, Emergence Magazine's first hardcover edition, journeys through the many landscapes of Time: deep time, geological time, kinship time, ancestral time, sacramental time. If we can recognize a different kind of Time, can we come to dwell within it?

Exploring these questions through poetry, essays, interviews, and art, this volume invites the reader to imagine a Time and space where ecology, culture, and spirituality are again woven together.

The contributors to Time have been recognized with numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Holmes National Poetry Prize, the Saroyan International Prize, the Pushcart Prize, the Lannan Poetry Prize, the Pen/Jean Stein Book Award, the National Outdoor Book Award, the Griffin Poetry Prize, the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award, the PEN Translation Award, a Whiting Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Wallace Stegner Fellowship, and a lifetime achievement award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Emergence Magazine is an online publication with an annual print edition. It has always been a radical act to share stories during dark times. They are regenerative spaces of creation and renewal. As humankind experiences the desecration of their lands and waters, the extinguishing of species, and a loss of sacred connection to the earth, they look to emerging stories. In them one can find the timeless connections between ecology, culture, and spirituality.
