Robin Kimmerer will be presenting on her book, 'Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses,' at Antioch University New England (ANE) this Thursday, April 12th at noon.
Come hear her speak at this Thursday's brown-bag talk (one of the series of inaugural events) in the East Wing E-101 at ANE. She will be with us all day (meeting with Environmental Studies: Literature of the Land students who are reading her book), and visiting classes, students and faculty throughout the afternoon.
In addition, later that same day, ANE's 'Feeding the Writer' group will be hosting a special pot-luck in honor of Robin to be held in Conference room 1A from 5-7pm. Attendees are encouraged to bring a dish, desert, or drinks to share that tell some story (which we may share with each other as well).
Tom Wessels will present a talk based on his new book, The Myth of Progress: Toward a Sustainable Future at 7 p.m in the Community Room, which you are welcome to attend in rounding out a very rich environmental literature day!
Thanks must go to Feeding the Writer, Whole Terrain, Environmental Studies, and the Presidential Inaugural Committee for sponsoring Robin's visit. Copies of 'Gathering Moss' are currently available in the ANE bookstore. Robin and Tom also both have essays in Whole Terrain's volume on Celebration and Ceremony, which will be available for purchase (mail-in order forms available here). Robin should have time to sign your copies of her works over the course of the day.
