About this Event:
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. Spokane author Maya Jewell Zeller, will lead a conversation with the authors following their readings.
