Join three critically acclaimed authors whose creative work brings awareness to the increasingly pressing issue of climate change. In "Braiding Sweetgrass," Robin Wall Kimmerer approaches the topic as both a Native American and scientist, and shows us how humanity and the natural world can co-exist through reciprocity. Aimee Nezhukumatathil’s debut nonfiction collection "World of Wonders" is a collection of essays about the natural world, and the way its inhabitants can teach, support, and inspire us. Johanna Stoberock's novel "Pigs" is a modern day allegory for our world of excess that explores questions about community, environmental responsibility, and the possibility of innocence. All three writers show us how creative prose is a powerful tool to raise our collective consciousness to care more about our natural world and our place in it. Kate Lebo, author of the essay collection "Difficult Fruit," will lead a conversation with the authors following their readings.
