Book cover for Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Winters
If you’re new to solarpunk, the premise is essentially optimistic climate fiction, depicting futures in which we have mitigated the worst effects of climate change, or adapted to the changes we can no longer prevent.

“Today
I have to screw on the expression of a person

thought I am at most an animal
and the animal I am spirals”
Ilya Kaminsky, Deaf Republic

Ivan Goncharov
“There are many husbands like Zahar in the world. A diplomatist will sometimes carelessly listen to his wife's advice, shrug his shoulders, and secretly write what she told him. A Government official will whistle and make a contemptuous grimace at his wife's chatter about some important affair - and the next day he will solemnly repeat this chatter to the Minister. These gentlemen treat their wives morosely or lightly, despising them, like Zahar, as mere women, or regarding them as a pleasant relaxation from the serious life of business.”
Ivan Goncharov, Oblomov

Alasdair Gray
“You pessimists always fall into the disillusion trap,” said the cheerful man cheerfully. “From one distance a thing looks bright. From another it looks dark. You think you’ve found the truth when you’ve replaced the cheerful view by the opposite, but true profundity blends all possible views, bright as well as dark.”
Alasdair Gray, Lanark

Ilya Kaminsky
“And when they bombed other people's houses, we

protested
but not enough, we opposed them but not

enough. I was
in my bed, around my bed America

was falling: invisible house by invisble house by invisble house --

I took a a chair outside and watched the sun.

In the sixth month
of a disastrous reign in the house of money

in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money,
our great country of money, we (forgive us)

lived happily during the war.”
Ilya Kaminsky, Deaf Republic

Ilya Kaminsky
“I do not hear gunshots,
but watch birds splash over the backyards of the suburbs. How bright is the sky
as the avenue spins on its axis.
How bright is the sky (forgive me) how bright.”
Ilya Kaminsky, Deaf Republic
