The cover poem from our latest issue features the words of artist and poet Precious Okoyomon. It was excerpted from ISOLARII latest book EVER GAIA, a celebration of the life of James Lovelock: environmentalist, futurist and originator of the Gaia theory that the Earth functions as a self-regulating system.
Always already energy matter
The worlds breakin in flowers the breath of things
Bliss hovering above the void Haptic fallout feverish blood
Myths arise where it sets Knowing there is fire Knowing there is war
Cities rising and falling
A small black river flowing
The speed of darkness
Earth memory
Everything burns repeatedly Our love is a blue insistent and
forward looking sky
Every dream is a moment of
freedom
Return back to the umbilical
tongue
To vesicles of celestial knowledge
Swallow bits of tenderness
Bring yourself back to the earth
Meeting in moments of present
breath
