Welcome to the Reckoning Press podcast. Reckoning is a nonprofit, annual journal of creative writing on environmental justice. "Reckoning", according to the definition most relevant here, is an imperfect means of navigation by which one determines where they’re going using only where they’ve been. Environmental justice is the notion that the people (and other living things) saddled with the consequences of humanity’s poor environmental choices and the imperative to remedy those choices are not the ones responsible for them. This podcast will feature very occasional poetry, fiction and essays from the journal, plus interviews with the authors. Hosted by publisher Michael J. DeLuca, with guests.
