Like Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the contributors to Hawk & Handsaw know which way the wind blows. They know that a sustainable lifestyle can be messy and meaningful-that it requires reflection, deep philosophical commitment and, more often than not, a good sense of humor. To this end, Hawk and Handsaw celebrates the thinking and reflection that ground sustainable practices and practitioners. Each issue, we offer works from established and emerging artists; this plurality of voices reveals a range of perspectives and practices as well as the richness that a sustainable life affords.

Hawk & Handsaw is published annually. The reading period for the Spring 2009 issue is 15 August- 15 November. The editors welcome text and images from every genre and are particularly interested in those works that challenge conventional notions both of artistic form and environmental sustainability.
