Contents clean and bright. Our twentieth book brings an uncivilised eye to the mindset of extractivism. ark Mountain: Issue 20 ABYSS delves deep into civilisation's plunder of Earth. This all-colour strikingly illustrated issue reveals the hidden assault behind our technocratic lifestyle: on mountains, on trees, water, creatures and human beings, as extractvism's insatiable drive for natural resources fuels a seemingly endless expansion in consumption. But this book also asks: how do we remain fully human while so much around us is being destroyed, especially as we (at least, some of us) enjoy so many of the material benefits that devastation brings? The fiction and poetry in this book navigate this tricky terrain, from Claire Wahmanholm's haunting depictions of glaciers melting on the page to Tacey Atsitty's wrenching depiction of the poisoned water supplies of the Diné in the American Southwest. Meanwhile, the art confronts us with the real cost of human interference: beginning with Lawrence Gipe's stunning cover of a Siberian diamond mine, and ending with Aboriginal artist Betty Muffler's post-nuclear work, Healing Country, that shows the scale and beauty of the Earth repair required.
