For over fifty years, through twenty books and one Pulitzer Prize finalist, Susan Griffin has been making unconventional connections between seemingly separate subjects. Whether pairing ecology and gender in her foundational work Woman and Nature, or the private life with the targeting of civilians in A Chorus of Stones, she has shed a new light on countless contemporary issues, including climate change, war, colonialism, the body, democracy, and terrorism.

She answers the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:

  • An exploration of the boundaries or “binding” of gender
  • The relationship between matter and spirit
  • The value of writing, “a sort of miracle, of something being created”
  • That “people need meaning… as much as food, water, and air” and that meaning often comes through stories
