I would burn my right hand in a slow fire
To change the future … I should do foolishly

The Vanishing is a gathering of responses by writers and artists, not only to extinction – the deaths of entire species – but to the quieter extirpations, losses and disappearances that are steadily stripping our world of its complexity and beauty.
