Gods&Radicals Press is thrilled to announce After Empire, the fifth issue of our print journal, A Beautiful Resistance.

A Beautiful Resistance: After Empire explores the truths we are all beginning to understand, the whispers on the plague winds, the portents in the polluted sky, the omens in the failing harvests and the chthonic call in the rising seas. Everywhere we look we see it: Empire is ending.

But no Empire ends politely nor quietly, nor do the torturous forms of their control merely disappear with them. Centuries of oppression, of discipline, of the shaping of our thoughts and dreams will not merely go away when the Capitols and Capital no longer exert their mythic power over our lives.

A Beautiful Resistance: After Empire is a ritual work of re-imagining, a revel and a parade back into the wilds of our own dreaming, our own symbols, our own forms of connection and community decoupled and divorced from what Empire has made of us.

A Beautiful Resistance: After Empire is edited by Rhyd Wildermuth with the brilliant design work of Casandra Johns and features the literary, poetic, fictive, and graphic work of 27 artists and writers, including:

Christopher Scott Thompson · Mirna Wabi-Sabi · Emma Kathryn ·Peter Grey · Rune Kjær Rasmussen · Twm Gwynne · V. Crowe. Ulrich Gehmann · Shane Burley · Kathleen Yearwood · Frank Seeburger · Tahlia Palmer · Sonali Roy · Peter Mark Adams · Finnchuill · Jane Skjoldli · Maddy Hag · Allyson Shaw · Lia Vé · Mason Parker · Ayling Zulema Dominguez · Laura Welsman · Slippery Elm · LAURIE RAE DIETRICH · Mel Hill · Bea Xu ·Z.

The second package contains A Beautiful Resistance: After Empire and We Live In The Orbit of Beings Greater Than Us, by Patrick Farnsworth. Both are designed by Casandra Johns and are not only beautiful works of art but also collections of powerful ideas on how to live as the Empire ends.
