Woody’s roundup: this month I had a short story about HUNGER and CLIMATE finally published in the eclectic, evocative, effervescent, and essential publication The Ocotillo Review (as they describe themselves). Sadly, it is exclusively available in print and needs to be purchased in order to be read, so I guess nobody will be doing that. In By the Feet of Men news, I did an interview on climate writer Joe Follansbee’s website, and moaned about publishing being who you know rather than what you can write.
I’m in Greece at the moment collecting experiences from refugees living in Athens and Samos, after which I’ll hopefully be able to write and publish a couple of articles on their ongoing plight. It’s ridiculous, really: five years after the European migrant crisis, as it is known, and still human beings (including minors) are being forced to exist under tarpaulins in 40-degree weather while the EU - second largest economy in the world - ignores the hell out of them.

summertime and the livin is moderate to hard
