New Sun Rising
On March 11, 2011 a devastating earthquake and tsunami struck the north of Japan. In the wake of one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in the history of Japan, a state of nuclear emergency was declared, forcing the evacuation of thousands more.
The world watched, stunned.
We wanted to help. Just giving money didn’t seem like enough.
The idea for New Sun Rising: Stories for Japan was born.
Artists and writers from around the world have contributed to New Sun Rising; the anthology contains work by Kyle Hemmings, Dan Holloway, Marcus Speh, Fritz Bogott, Tyson Bley, and many others.
People we’d like to thank:
Greg McQueen and Dan Holloway have been essential to this project, sharing their experience, spreading the word, help people connect. They are tireless, and giants among men. We couldn’t have gotten rolling without them.
Endaxi Press and Andrew Brenton, for all that behind-the-scenes stuff that gets books made.
The Academic Computer Club at Umeå University for our mailing lists; a project like this lives or dies by communication, and they enabled ours.
