The State of Massachusetts is haunted by easy money. Writing with a long view on the ‘cultural bomb’ set off by European settler-colonists landing at Plymouth Rock, Wren Ribeiro reckons with how ancestry and wealth have obscured what radical justice for the region could look like. Moving between past and present, and from the smallest to the largest scales of power, Land without Money is a call to look back at our own roots – to grapple with the many sources of grief we find in our here-and-now.
Emma Kent-Abate’s short stories draw from a well of fresh themes that can help to mend the future. One where we give hospitality to strangers, despite the baggage they may carry. Where ghosts meddle with fantasies of old New England’s past. Where we go out and come back with grief in our hearts for what is lost, and with hope for mending what is not yet beyond repair. Combining folklore, local history, and speculative fiction, Curators of Absence refashions traditional tales for uncertain times.
A speculative essay aimed to spark discussion, Finding Joy and Solidarity travels from a vision of “what could flourish” to understand better “the work at the roots,” the actions that will build a lively tomorrow. With bright description and inspirational characters, Brianna Cunliffe and Holden Turner sketch a portrait of New England that rights itself and manages to create a better world for all. Part fable, part handbook for regional change, this slim book opens new questions about what futures await our home communities.

Finding Joy and Solidarity in the
Anthropocene
Flooded Pine Press, founded in the wake of the 2024 turn toward far-right politics in the United States, gathers and circulates essays that imagine local and regional actions for a livable tomorrow. We, the editors, are based in what is now New Hampshire and Maine and use our positions as graduate students to punch up to power and privilege in our home communities. We believe in a ferment of critical thought and relations that applies pressure at key points in our systems of power and collaborates toward the creation of joyful futures.
