In our final issue for February, we had:

  • Vandana Singh's Diffractions column on "Sleepwalking Toward Calamity: The 2011 Climate Conference in Durban, South Africa"
  • A round table on writing climate change fiction with Julie Bertagna, Tobias Buckell, Maggie Gee, Glenda Larke, Kim Stanley Robinson, Vandana Singh, and Joan Slonczewski
  • Chris Willrich's poem "The Vampire Astronomer"
  • Reviews of Moira Young's Blood Red Road by Martin Lewis, Brian Aldiss' An Exile on Planet Earth by Paul Kincaid, and Ann and Jeff VanderMeer's first Odd? anthology, by Ben Godby

On the blog I posted about ecocriticism and sf, with follow-ups to posts by Mark Charan Newton and Matt Hilliard; I also speculated about this year's Arthur C. Clarke Award shortlist, and linked to some other opinions.

Finally this week, a couple of other notes. First, and sadly, this will be Vandana Singh's last column for us, at least for a while; we very much hope she will rejoin us in the future, but it's been a pleasure to publish her writing over the last year or so either way.

Second, reader Jim DeVona got in touch to tell us he's written a Calibre recipe to generate ebooks of Strange Horizons issues! The recipe is now included in Calibre -- just search for "Strange Horizons" in the "Schedule news download" window. As we redesign the website we're looking into producing a regular ebook version of our own, but hopefully for some of you this will be a useful stopgap; you can find an example epub of this week's issue here, and many thanks to Jim for both creating this tool and telling us about it.

Looking back, I see that my initial hope for this episode was that the mud would have a heartbeat and a heart that has teeth and crippling anxiety. Some of that hope has become a reality, but at what cost?
to work under the / moon is to build a formidable tomorrow
Significantly, neither the humans nor the tigers are shown to possess an original or authoritative version of the narrative, and it is only in such collaborative and dialogic encounters that human-animal relations and entanglements can be dis-entangled.
