Travels on the Edge: One Woman’s Journeys on a Runaway Planet
In this collection, MJ Pramik shares stories of adventure and personal evolution against the backdrop of the current climate crisis. These essays and poems reflect upon two decades of journeys around the globe, offering wisdom for developing a conscious mind for sustainable travel as our planet’s catastrophic transformations come to the fore. Today, MJ begins each new expedition prepared for interruption by some radical encounter – whether it be war, extreme weather, drought, a pandemic…or simply major flight cancellations. She meets each of these challenges with a grateful excitement and renewed dedication to further care for this planet.
Readers of this anthology are encouraged to become ethical travelers themselves, turning their focus towards honoring the far corners of the earth even as storm clouds hover above us.

It’s time for all of us to speak out about the truth we know.
Growing up in coal country, I experienced firsthand the deleterious and toxic effects of burning carbon. I inhaled sulfur released by the smoke spiraling out of the chimney of my family home. We canned and dined on vegetables contaminated by DDT. I write about these experiences in the hope I can reverse some of the effects of climate change and inspire the next generation to work to ensure this planet and all its species survive and thrive.
