Subscribe via RSS, Google Podcasts, Android, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, Apple or Amazon. Welcome back to the Reckoning Press Podcast! It's me, Michael J. DeLuca, publisher, and we are coming back out of hiatus just for a minute to celebrate that Our Beautiful Reward, our special issue on bodily autonomy, comes out in print on March 16th. We're having a virtual launch party on Sunday the 19th at 8PM eastern US time aka GMT-5, which will feature readings from contributors Leah Bobet, Marissa Lingen, Julian K. Jarboe, Linda Cooper, M. C. Benner-Dixon, Riley Tao, Dyani Sabin and Juliana Roth. And we'll draw names and give away books and t-shirts and talk about bodily autonomy and reproductive justice. Editor Catherine Rockwood will emcee, Julie Day and Carina Bissett of Essential Dreams Press and The Storied Imaginarium will host. It'll be grand. I'll post the link to RSVP on the website. In the meantime, I have Catherine here with me today, and we're going to talk about Our Beautiful Reward! [Bio below.] Michael: I should add that Catherine and I recently met in person for the first time after having worked together on Reckoning staff for several years, and it was lovely, relaxed and intellectually stimulating in ways I had honestly almost forgotten face-to-face human interaction could be in these isolating times. So I hope to share with you all a little bit of that today. Welcome Catherine! Catherine: Thank you! Michael: I am excited to try this out with you—we're doing a new thing here, using the Discord chat where we all have our editorial staff discussions on a daily basis to record a conversation. Catherine is the editor of Our Beautiful Reward, our special issue on bodily autonomy, and I've got some questions for her to get us going discussing what makes us so excited about it and how we had such a good time putting it together. First of all, Catherine: what did you learn editing this special issue? Catherine: I learned a lot. One of the things that I learned is just purely personal and that's just that I enjoy editing, which I didn't know before. I learned to be really super grateful for Reckoning's readers. They saved me from making a lot of mistakes, I think, they helped me read better. Everyone I forwarded things to got back to me with great advice and insights. That's not to say I didn't make mistakes, I did, but other people can't fully save you from that. However, a generous advising team like the one at Reckoning helps improve outcomes. We're proud of the issue. Part of the reason I feel proud of it is because of the people who helped me put it together. It wouldn't be as good as it is without everybody. I think the other thing that is really exciting is, I learned that editing expands the imagination kind of like reading does, and there's a very different feel to it. So you're not really asking yourself what does this individual poem or story do, but instead you're thinking—and this was totally new to me, and so interesting—what does this poem or story do together with this other poem or story? And you kind of do that, and you do that, and you find new things, and you find new combinations, until you hit your page limit. Which, it should be said, we had a little difficulty putting a page cap on this issue. We kind of went over our initial limit because there was so much great stuff that was coming in and so many pieces that we wanted. But speaking in terms of what it's like to edit: it's super intense to be bringing that togetherness of this set of works into its final shape. And I loved it, but also: I was tired once we were done. Michael: [Laughing] Me too! It is kind of magic how a group of people who don't know each other can be all thinking about the same topic, and be brought together after they've written something on that topic into a physical/conceptual object—an issue of a magazine—and actually begin to feel like a community, mutually inspiring, mutually supporting.

Subscribe via RSS, Google Podcasts, Android, Stitcher, iHeartRadio or on iTunes! Hey, yes, it's me, Michael J. DeLuca, and today on the Reckoning podcast I will be reading you what turns out to be the last of our Utopia Award nominees that will appear here, Remi Skytterstad's novelette about the colonization of the Sami people of Norway, "A Song Born". We had six nominations total, but the last two are for Tracy Whiteside's artwork series "Too Hot to Handle", which is awesome but doesn't translate well to audio, and for Reckoning 5 itself, thanks to editors Cecile Cristofari and Leah Bobet, without whom we wouldn't have been able to bring any of this amazing work to light. As with Oyedotun's story last week, though I have had ample help from Remi, I must ask you to bear with my clumsy pronunciation and assume responsibility for any f-ups. Voting for the Utopia Awards is open now through August 21st. Please go vote? You can find the link here at reckoning.press or on twitter. And our fundraiser is still on, and I'm very pleased to announce we have passed the threshold that will allow us to raise payrates to 10c/word, $50/page for poetry. Hooray! And thank you! Now we get to move on to other worthy goals like paying our staff more than the token honorarium they currently receive, and putting out a print edition of Our Beautiful Reward, our forthcoming special issue on bodily autonomy, edited by Catherine Rockwood. We have now laid eyes on the vulva monster Mona Robles made us for the cover, and it is brain-scramblingly good. You can find out how to help make that happen at reckoning.press/support-us.

Subscribe via RSS, Google Podcasts, Android, Stitcher, iHeartRadio or on iTunes! Welcome back to the Reckoning Press Podcast. Today, I, Michael J. DeLuca, am going to read you Oyedotun Damilola Muees' PEN Robert J. Dau Prize Winning and Utopia-nominated story, "All We Have Left Is Ourselves" from Reckoning 5. I going to need to ask you to bear with me. This heartbreaking story about living with the consequences of corporate environmental exploitation is written in a culture and an English vernacular far from my own. I've had help, I've been practicing for this, psyching myself up. Oyedotun says my pronunciation's not bad, it doesn't have to be perfect. All my time reading Nigerian twitter at 5AM instead of writing is about to pay off! Voting for the Utopia Awards is open now through August 21st. We've been podcasting the nominated work over the past few episodes, and next week if all goes well I'll have Remi Skytterstad's nominated novelette, "A Song Born". Please go vote; you can find the link at reckoning.press or on twitter. Our fundraiser is still on, we are oh so close to being able to raise payrates to 10c/word, $50/page for poetry, and I have been out in the woods and fields collecting blackberry prickers in my hands so I can offer Patreon supporters some delicious wild preserves. Don't let my suffering have been in vain! Just kidding, I love it. Anyway, you can read about the fundraiser at reckoning.press/support-us.

DeLuca, reporting from droughted, heatwave-beset northeastern North America. Is it brutally hot and dry where you are? Is your representative democracy hamstrung by corruption? While you're waiting around for the revolution, cool off with me for a minute or two and listen to Ashley Bao read her effervescent, beachy-apocalyptic poem, "when the coral copies our fashion advice". This is the second of five podcast episodes featuring our Utopia Award nominees from Reckoning 5. The Utopia Awards, organized by Android Press as part of CliFiCon22, will be up for public vote between August 1 - 21, and winners will be announced at the conference in October. We really hope you'll listen and be inspired to vote. I'll include links to the voting pages here once they're live. Also, in case you missed it: we're having a fundraiser! We'd love to pay everyone better and give more folks a chance to feel invested in this undertaking while making more cool stuff and amplifying more radical, revolutionary, restorative ideas. There will be rewards! Take this opportunity to sport some antifascist, pro-environmental justice Reckoning bling. Maybe win a personal critique of your writing from one of our editors. Or encourage our staff to generate some bespoke educational content on how to make the world a more livable place from right in your own backyard or local biosphere preserve.

Subscribe via RSS, Google Podcasts, Android, Stitcher, iHeartRadio or on iTunes! Hi, it's me, your nominal host, Michael J. DeLuca. Today on the Reckoning Press podcast we have for you Reckoning 7 nonfiction editor Priya Chand introducing and reading her Utopia-nominated essay, "On the Destruction and Restoration of Habitats". This is the first in a series of what will hopefully be five episodes highlighting work from Reckoning 5 nominated for the inaugural Utopia Awards. The Utopia Awards, organized by Android Press as part of CliFiCon22, will be up for public vote between August 1 - 21, and winners will be announced at the conference in October. We really hope you'll listen and be inspired to vote. I'll include links to the voting pages here once they're live. My pitch for Priya's essay is as follows: she's doing what solarpunk fiction projects, and she's encountering the complexities and conflicts of the real world making that work harder, more fraught. It's the work we all need to be doing. Follow Priya's example. Also, in case you missed it: we're having a fundraiser!

Hi folks, it's me again, your host, Michael J. DeLuca. I'm about to read you Nicasio Reed's story from Reckoning 6, "Babang Luksa". It is a beautiful, quiet, sad story about family and facing the real consequences of hard choices. I don't think you will find your time with it ill-spent. It's extremely evocative for me, as an Italian-American from a big family on the East Coast I don't get to see very often. But I have great confidence in its broader applicability, because it's impossible not to see the incredibly skillful hand with which Nico has sculpted these characters and sense that he's looked them in the eye. And if you're not having to make these kinds of choices already--well. Don't let me jinx it. But it's good to be prepared. [Bio below.] "Babang Luksa" by Nicasio Andres Reed

Hey, it's me, your sometime host, Michael J. DeLuca. I'm going to read you a short story, "Gills" by Nicholas Clute, from Reckoning 6. If you'd like to read along with me, you can, it's free online at reckoning.press/gills. The author's extremely succinct bio goes like this. [Bio below.] First I'm going to tell you a little about why I love this story. In it, you will meet two brothers, Allas and Young. Their relationship, the bickering, loving, supportive, competitive relatability of it, is what drew me through from beginning to end. I've got younger sisters who I desperately want to make it through this crisis, and the next one, and the one after that. Whenever I get to the end of a submission and find myself surprised it went so quickly, that's a pretty good sign I'm going to want to publish it. This was like that. It's 4,200 words and it felt like half that. We all thought it worked particularly well juxtaposed with Nicasio Reed's story "Babang Luksa", which is also about family amid risen seas and I encourage you to check out. The other thing about "Gills" is the surreality, for which I am a sucker. This is a post-collapse future that's just weird enough I can inhabit it without dragging along all the dread and anticipatory grief and guilt I'll be bringing with me to the real future. And it's such a relief! Here's hoping it does the same for you. "Gills" by Nicholas Clute
