I love to share EcoLit Success Stories from authors who have used our extensive list of environmental outlets to find homes for their poetry, stories and essays.
So I’d be remiss in not mentioning an essay that I was fortunate to find a home for in The Revelator, an essay on the power of names to help or hurt our fellow animals. It was inspired by the Tasmanian devil, an animal who is anything but. I mean, just look at that amazing photograph.
I hope you enjoy it — and take a moment to subscribe to their newsletter.
