Please follow this link and watch Max Porter, author of Grief is the Thing With Feathers, deliver his moving 2026 PEN speech. If you don't want to watch the video, a link to the transcript is below the image. But I do, really, recommend hearing it from Max himself.
"Might we re-child our ideas of solidarity, of community, of survival — weren’t all utopias deemed childish compared to the big, grown-up work of bombing the fuck out of stuff, and Hurting People? Just because we are centuries deep into a violent way of doing business with the planet and one another, does it mean we cannot brainstorm some alternatives?"
