High Priestess of the Apocalypse is a lyrical exploration of disobedience, grief, and healing (often simultaneously). This is a memoir that reckons with climate grief, the impulse to fight for what we love, and how to turn dread into action. It examines, with intimacy and tenderness, the future of our planet and the humanity that informs the longing for a better world. Part memoir, part direct action primer, part love letter to the new world we’re collectively fighting to create.
Christy Tending came to activism through a love of the natural world and was radicalized through heartbreak at the ecological devastation and human rights abuses she has witnessed firsthand. This book traces her love of the natural world in a childhood spent riding horses through the forests of rural Maryland and her path to becoming a climate justice direct action coordinator and educator in the face of an increasingly urgent crisis. With humor and hope, Tending explores the realities of taking bold and radical action on behalf of the planet, and how activism can collide and converse with parenting, sobriety, ecology, disability, mental illness, and transgressive joy.
