You Are a Sacred Place: Signing with Madeline Jubilee Saito

Celebrate the launch of local Seattle creator Madeline Jubilee Saito’s new book You Are a Sacred Place: Visual Poems for Living in Climate Crisis! This gorgeous volume features visual poetry based around a 4 panel comic format and reaches into the whirlwind of despair, terror, community, hope, and love that is living in a climate crisis created by greed.

Madeline will be signing and her new book at Outsider Comics on 4/12 from 1 to 4 PM and she’d love to chat with you about it! This is an all ages event and is free to attend; drop in any time between 1 to 4. We will have copies of You Are a Sacred Place available for sale.

Here’s what some awesome people have to say about You Are a Sacred Place:

“Saito reached a hand into some of my very own darkest climate crisis-induced depressive thoughts and drew me gently back into the light. We are all part of this natural world, and we are meant to be here, and it is good that we are here. Those things can be hard to remember sometimes, but these delicate comics underline their truth.” 

— MAIA KOBABE, author and illustrator of Gender Queer: A Memoir

“Using a sort of visual 4/4 time signature, Madeleine Jubilee Saito’s You Are A Sacred Place is a heartfelt song about the state of our planet. In gentle watercolors and sparse colors, Saito sings to us about love, loss, hope, and our need for one another.” 

— AIDAN KOCH, artist and graphic novelist, author of Spiral and Other Stories

“Madeleine Jubilee Saito has given us a singular gift. At once gentle and piercing, spare and profound, her artistry breaks open hearts, releasing rivers of love for what is—and grief for what is already lost.” 

— NAOMI KLEIN, New York Times bestselling author of Doppelganger
