HOW TO TOUCH GRASS is a comics anthology about the joys (and stakes) of going outside! The book is 300+ pages long with a full-color interior and boasts over 30 adult non-fiction stories.
Vanishing third places, burnout, doomscrolling, car culture, and health barriers have been trapping us in our homes (and in our social bubbles).
Meanwhile, the grasses upon which we feed (literally and spiritually), upon which we congregate as communities, and where chance encounters could change our world for the better... go untouched by us.
For everyone feeling disconnected and unsure how to break back into "real life", this collection is both a call to action and a guiding light. Balancing humor with sincerity, this soulful collection created by over fifty LGBTQ and BIPOC creators from around the world spans topics like:
insights on fostering community / accessibility,
introductions to plant identification and usage,
beginner-friendly foraging guides and recipes,
amateur philosophy connecting nature, gender, and relationships,
personal stories about the effects of disconnection on mental health,
informative essays about grass's role across history and science,
original journalism covering mycelium networks ("and you"),
and so much more...!
HOW TO TOUCH GRASS covers a lot of ground... We hope that you will too!
