Winds of Change: Short Stories about Our Climate is a diverse collection of eighteen insightful, witty, and emotional short stories about climate change. The selected stories are the result of a short story contest run by Dragonfly.eco (then eco-fiction.com) in the summer of 2014. In collaboration with 100, 000 Poets (Artists/Authors) for Change, Dragonfly engaged authors from Vancouver, BC, and other places around the world, to create speculative fiction about a harsh reality: our planet-at-risk. With a foreword by Michael Rothenberg, Winds of Change also includes several poems by Stephen Siperstein and Carolyn Welch. The second edition includes Michael Rothenberg in the poetry line-up. In the 2nd edition, you'll find a brand new cover-now shown here-as well as an updated introduction and acknowledgments page, new author biographies, added poems from Michael Rothenberg's latest book (In Memory of a Banyan Tree, Lost Horse Press, 2022), and a study guide. I'd like to personally thank Western Michigan University for not only using this book in their curriculum about climate change and literature but for exploring some of its stories in their book Teaching Climate Change to Adolescents: Reading, Writing, and Making a Difference (Routledge, 2017). The selected short stories include the winner Robert Sassor's "First Light" and honorable mentions by authors John Atcheson, Rachel May, JL Morin, Anneliese Schultz, and Craig Spence. Other authors include Gabriella Brand, Paul Collins, Conor Corderoy, M.E. Cooper, Charlene D'Avanzo, Michael Donoghue, JoeAnn Hart, Janis Hindman, Clara Hume, Stephan Malone, Christopher Rutenber, and Keith Wilkinson.
