Waking Up to the Dark: The Black Madonna's Gospel for An Age of Extinction and Collapse by Clark Strand

Waking Up to the Dark asks what modern life loses when darkness is treated only as something to eliminate. Clark Strand brings memoir, cultural history, ecological concern, and mystical reflection together in an argument for renewing our relationship with the night.

This edition, subtitled The Black Madonna’s Gospel for an Age of Extinction and Collapse, also explores the sacred feminine and Strand’s accounts of spiritual encounters. Readers interested in contemplative responses to environmental crisis will find a personal spiritual testament, not a clinical treatment for insomnia. Published by Monkfish; ISBN 9781948626729.
