Thrum: A Living Literary Ecology for the Great Turning

Seven morphs. One living field.
A literary ecology for re-inhabiting the animate world.

Thrum is a living literary organism from the Wild Nature Heart field—seven interconnected, cross-pollinating books weaving poetry, story, and re-enchantment into a shared ecology in the threshold between the unraveling of Empire’s spell and the emergence of cultures awakening to the animate world.

Thrum is inspired in part by the symbiotic extravagance and diverse beauty of the lichen kingdom.

Each morph, each book, tends a different capacity: grief, compost, intimacy, imagination, becoming otherwise, permeability, and re-enchantment. None stands alone. Each is nourished by the others, cross-fed by the living field.

Morphs emerging from the organism:

• Watershed
• Becoming Beautiful Barbarians
• Welcome to the Pollination Party: An Ecospiritual Decolonial Pilgrimage
• Earth Intimacies: An Eco Playbook for Reinhabiting the Animate Web of Life
• Composting the Spell of Empire: 40 Trickster Invitations for the Great Unraveling
• Permeable
• The seventh is still emerging: Thrum itself, or the unnamed mystery at the heart of the organism: the Threshold of Unrelenting Mystery.

The first books—Becoming Beautiful Barbarians and Watershed—are open to pre-order now and ship in August, with additional morphs unfolding over the following year.

Receive transmissions from the Thrum literary organism and be among the first to know when they arrive later this summer.
