Augur Issue 9.1

The stories and poems in this issue reach into the past: for stories passed down from ancestors, ancient divination practices, and landscapes that have shaped humanity for eons. They ground themselves in the past to reach into futures near and far: to synthetic gestation and robotic wildlife and faraway planets. This is an issue about finding sure footing in what has come before and looking ahead with clear eyes. It is an issue about finding the courage to keep on living amidst these ruins. It is a long path, but it starts and ends with love.
