As we head into 2023, we love seeing Lynell George's research in the Huntington Library studying Butler’s method of intention setting, and seeing that inform her practice as a writer. How are you changing your world in 2023? A HANDFUL OF EARTH, A HANDFUL OF SKY is available at your local #library. We also have copies signed by Lynell George in stock. Link in bio: @SistahScifi | www.sistahscifi.com Reposted from @lynellgeorgewriter Thank you, @racchelreads 💫💫✨💫💫 Posted @withregram • @racchelreads A Handful of Earth, A Handful of Sky: The World of Octavia E. Butler Back in the Before Times, the wonderful Lynell George appeared at the @labreakfastclub to speak about her last book, After/Image. During her presentation she mentioned she was working on a new book about Octavia Butler and afterwards I asked her (probably too intensely, but I'm just so obsessed with Octavia I can't help it) "WHEN IS YOUR OCTAVIA BOOK COMING OUT????" The book came out last year and I have to say, what an incredibly special and inspiring book it is! Everyone, ESPECIALLY writers, should read it. Image two Reposted from @lynellgeorgewriter Thank you @thehuntingtonlibrary for featuring “A Handful of Earth, A Handful of Sky: The World of Octavia E. Butler” in the latest issue of Frontiers. @angelcitypress Image three Reposted from @lynellgeorgewriter This is part of a reporting notebook of mine from 2004 when I traveled to Seattle to the Black to Future SF convention. I was writing in the dark. Literally. I was covering it for the Times. I had no idea where life would take me in this journey back to Octavia E. Butler @octaviaebutler. She gave the keynote. It was the last time I saw her in person. #ahandfulofearthahandfulofsky #lynellgeorge #octaviabutler #angelcitypress #octaviaebutler #SistahScifi #intentionsetting #2023Intentions (at Sistah Scifi) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm12Oi9pO--/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
