Like light passing through a prism to reveal its many colors, the myriad expressions of the Earth unfold through the seasons. We’ve long moved with their simple and sacred rhythm; they are the primary gateway through which the human engages with cycles of creation, destruction, and renewal. But today we estrange ourselves from the seasons with technology and human-centric myths, while an unraveling climate causes them to grow increasingly unfamiliar. Reflecting a world where snow no longer arrives, annual migrations fall out of time, yet first blossoms still burst, Seasons, our sixth print edition, moves through three themes: requiem, invitation, and celebration—each a contemplation on the paradoxical ways the seasons now beckon us into intimate relationship.

A collection of original haiku, essays, short fiction, photography, conversations, and poetry from Boris Acket; Melanie Challenger; David James Duncan; Camille T. Dungy; CMarie Fuhrman; Forrest Gander; Ben Goldfarb; Bear Guerra; David George Haskell; David Hinton; Jane Hirshfield; Brian Isett; Sandor Ellix Katz; Robin Wall Kimmerer; J. Drew Lanham; Sam Lee; Dara McAnulty; Lydia Millet; Marie Mutsuki Mockett; Ron Moss; Susan Murphy Roshi; Kerri ní Dochartaigh; Zoë Schlanger; Christina Seely; Jake Skeets; Studio Airport; Terry Tempest Williams; Kiliii Yüyan, this volume is infused with a spectrum of color and light; and listens for the turning song of the seasons—for what vanishes and what remains—attentive to these moments that call us into communion with the Earth.

A companion to Volume 6, Requiem, Invitation, and Celebration: A Collection of Seasonal Practices is a hardcover book of fifty practices by Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee and Lucy Wormald. Engaging the cycles of breath, the inner and outer senses, playfulness, and physical immersion in the seasons’ many offerings, these practices offer simple ways to become attentive and respond to the myriad ways we can experience the subtle expressions of the seasons.
