The Green Theory and Praxis Journal (http://greentheoryandpraxisjournal.org/) is calling for proposals exploring the entanglements of COVID – 19 into creative forms of writing (poetry, fiction etc.). We seek work that advocates for changed paradigms, challenges new thinking, and above all, encourages us to reimagine our future.
