A spell casting parable of possibility, as well as a meditation on sacrifice, solitude, and the mother-daughter relationship. Crocosmia is a philosophical fable, a work of speculative, feminist eco-fiction centered on Maya, an elderly woman, recollecting the "great turning"-an epochal shift away from Capitalist death drive towards egalitarian eco-socialism. Maya recalls how her mother, Jane, a revolutionary poet, artist, and carpenter-philosopher created a telekinetic artwork that helped catalyze radical social transformation and the demise of patriarchal warlordism. The novel dreams of environmental healing, radical social, economic, and cultural transformation and speculates about the artist's role in this process.
