Fortunately, there's no shortage of strategies and structures to deal with a world falling apart and us falling apart in the world. Juxtaposing natural figures against a backdrop of consumerism, \u003cem\u003eNatural Healing\u003c\/em\u003e invites us to imagine just how comfortable concepts of the natural and healing are as bedfellows and just how far into the surreal and absurd those words can take us in an effort to see life around us anew.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe other side of a story designed to put you to sleep, \u003cem\u003eNatural Healing\u003c\/em\u003e is a series of meditations, fables, and darkly humorous prose poems on our world of disaster that reference various ways we try to heal, if only from our anxieties. Where magical thinking meets surrealism on a plane of eco-poetics, \"Natural Healing\" is Aesop updated for the Anthropocene, an invitation to dream and then better understand and change our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRobyn Schelenz is from Birdsboro, Pennsylvania, and lives in San Francisco.
