Changing Skies Writing Through the Climate Crisis A project of Hindsight (see other related projects). About Changing Skies is the sister title to Hindsight, highlighting creative nonfiction that focuses on the voices of those experiencing our constantly-evolving existential reality. Changing Skies aims to educate, inspire, uplift, and ground those who read it through a hand-curated compilation of prose, poetry, and artwork submitted from all corners of the globe.Changing Skies came about in its earliest form as a collaboration between CU Boulder's Program for Writing and Rhetoric and Scott King's Mission Zero Fund. In partnership with Mission Zero, Changing Skies printed its first volume and was a smash success at the 2023 Association of Writers and Writing Programs conference (AWP). Since Changing Skies' first volume, Hindsight has begun accepting more international submissions, expanding the diversity of our contributors and the topics they address.
