In this blog post, I take you on a journey through the creation of Song of the Dead from its inception to its publication in Sophia Journal. It is thrilling to be working alongside such a talented group of individuals, and we are grateful for the support of the Fort McMurray community. Together, we hope to contribute to a greater understanding of our planet's complex challenges and find innovative solutions for people through compassion and inclusion.
Our respect and deep condolences to the whanau and friends of Will Steffen. We are with you in our feelings of compassion, sadness, loss and love. His passing is a sea change for our group as having come to know Will as a herald, beacon, friend and ally... Tears on the faces of many, are our tears.
