Convergence: Poetry on Environmental Impacts of War

On Tuesday, April 28, 6-7pm,  Anne Coray (editor) and other local poets will read from their collection of poetry, Convergence: Poetry on Environmental Impacts of War, to be released in May.

This anthology offers a groundbreaking and vital perspective on war’s destruction of the natural world—the creatures, plants, soil, water, and atmosphere of Earth. In poems and contextual comments, 61 contemporary poets focus on military damages to the ecosystems on six continents and the moon.

Contributors to this anthology include six Alaskan writers: Anne Coray, Nancy Lord, Marybeth Holleman, Vivian Faith Prescott, Gretchen Diemer, and Rick Steiner, as well as national and a few international poets.

Join us at the library to hear from featured authors as well as other local voices including: Anne Coray, Nancy Lord, Tom Kizzia, Gretchen Diemer, Michael LeMay, and Samantha Cunningham.
