Friday, April 26 from 2-3:30pm @ Southeast Campus, Library 2nd floor

Come to the Southeast Library for an exploration of fictional writing that focuses on climate change. Thea Prieto, PCC writing instructor and author of From the Caves, will read from her post-apocalyptic novella and discuss other provocative works of climate fiction. The session will address how creative writing can help us discuss difficult topics, discover our thinking, and convey complex emotions, for ourselves or in the classroom. You are invited to bring your own climate fiction or environment-focused prose or poetry for an open mic sharing. Light refreshments will be served.
