Jamie McHugh, somatic coach, visual artist and longtime survivor of HIV, will be appearing at Bookworks in Albuquerque, NM to discuss and sign the new anthology Hope Beneath Our Feet ($18.95, edited by Martin Keogh), which also includes essays by Michael Pollan, Howard Zinn, Alice Walker, and Barbara Kingsolver.
Hope Beneath Our Feet creates a space for change with stories, meditations, and essays that address the question,”If our world is facing an imminent environmental catastrophe, how do I live my life right now?” This collection provides tools, both practical and spiritual, to those who care about our world and to those who are just now realizing they need to care. Featuring prominent environmentalists, artists, CEOs, grassroots activists, religious figures, scientists, policy makers, and indigenous leaders, Hope Beneath Our Feet shows readers how to find constructive ways to channel their energies and fight despair with engagement and participation. Presenting diverse strategies for change as well as grounds for hope, the contributors to this anthology celebrate the ways in which we can all engage in beneficial action for ourselves, our communities, and the world.
“Luscious, grounding, and disturbing, this book offers potent medicine for all those working for change, and a swift kick in the ass for those who ain’t. A bracing, polyphonic bundle of necessary voices.”
