Wild Words

Bristlecone Pine by Eric Utne from his essay, Visonfast (Issue 7)

Dark Mountain started with a manifesto calling for ‘uncivilised’ writing to push the boundaries of established and accepted literary forms and reflect the realities of our times more honestly.

If the world is in need of rewilding, this extends beyond the outer landscapes and into our domesticated souls.  The writers in this section go looking for wildness with their words.
