Book Description | The Dark Mountain Project began with a manifesto published in 2009 by two English writersDougald Hine and Paul Kingsnorthwho felt that literature was not responding honestly to the crises of our time.In a world in which the climate is being altered by human activities; in which global ecosystems are being destroyed by the advance of industrial civilisation; and in which the dominant economic and cultural assumptions of the West are visibly crumbling, Dark Mountain asked: where are the writers and the artists? Why are the mainstream cultural forms of our society still behaving as if this were the twentieth centuryor even the nineteenth?Dark Mountains call for writers, thinkers and artists willing to face the depth of the mess we are in has made it a gathering point for a growing international network. Rooted in place, time and nature, their work finds a home in the pages of the Dark Mountain books, with two new volumes published every year.Walking on Lava brings together the best of the first ten volumes, along with the original manifesto. This collection of essays, fiction, poetry, interviews and artwork introduces The Dark Mountain Projects groundbreaking work to a wider audience in search of the hope beyond hope, the paths which lead to the unknown world ahead of us. |
