Where were you when the wildfires raged?
In 2023, while flames rushed across Canada and produced the orange haze of an apocalyptic future, twenty-one authors picked up their pens and began to write. Red Eyes and Tired Lungs: An Anthology of Wildfire showcases a collection of thirty-five pieces from Canadian writers that were inspired by, or in response to, wildfire.
Evacuation orders have been issued, and now the flame stalks across the forest. A sweet, lovable dog deals with an evacuation and the after-affects of severe smoke inhalation. What do you grab when you have only minutes to leave? Would you drive into the flames to help a friend save others? Flames shaped like women are luring people to their death, and a podcaster interviews someone who is apparently immune. Does the earth feel like an angry boyfriend about to break up with you? A dryad tries to locate the source of a wildfire and finds a misplaced creature. Can you find the good in a summer drowned in smoke? Will you miss the sounds of disappearing species? What would you do for a delicious can of sugar juice? A little boy listens to what the flames speak. A wildfire firefighter finds herself stalked by flames in two worlds. If you had to decide what could be saved, what would you choose? All these stories, poems, and more explore the many facets of wildfire.
Will you weep for humanity when smoke gets in your eyes?

The Amelia Earhart Mystery -...

John Harpoon

Amelia Earhart's name has become synonymous with courage, ambition, and mystery. As one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century, her groundbreaking achievements in aviation and her tragic disappearance continue to captivate historians, researchers, and the general public. Earhart’s life was a tapestry of pioneering success and relentless determination, making her a symbol of human resilience and curiosity.
Born in 1897, Earhart grew up with a passion for adventure, defying the gender norms of her time. Her fascination with flying began during her twenties, and she quickly rose to prominence as an aviator. From being the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean to setting numerous records for altitude and speed, Earhart consistently pushed the boundaries of what women could achieve. Beyond her aerial accomplishments, she was also a writer, lecturer, and staunch advocate for women’s rights, inspiring generations to dream beyond societal expectations.
Yet, it is not just Earhart’s achievements that cement her legacy. The enduring mystery surrounding her disappearance in 1937 during an attempt to circumnavigate the globe has kept her story alive in a way few others have achieved. Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, vanished somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, sparking one of the largest search efforts in history. Despite extensive naval and aerial searches, no definitive trace of Earhart or her aircraft was ever found, leaving room for endless speculation and theories.
