Who and whatever we are, we need to make-with—become-with, compose-with—the earthbound...My purpose is to make kin mean something other/more than entities tied by ancestry or genealogy.” Issue #4 of /Dark Matter /will center on writing and artwork that offer ways to embody and/or enact an expanded vision of kin/kinship.
