Yesterday I submitted a manuscript to Orion entitled “Playing in the wild: Seven riffs on wilderness.” It’s been brewing for a while now with all the attention on this year being the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act. A few writers have noted that it’s also the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. My piece centers around another anniversary: the 150th of the Sand Creek Massacre! I might post some excerpts, but hopefully it’ll find traction at Orion.
By the way, if you don’t know Orion, you should really check it out: very thoughtful, great creative writing, and amazing poetry!
