Juniper Festival, The World & the Word
April 9, 2008: The 8th annual Juniper Festival, The World & the Word (April 25 & 26), will explore the confluence of environmental science and literary art. Poets, essayists, fiction writers, activists, publishers, and scientists will gather to investigate the many ways environmental science and literary art need and nourish one another. Narrative and data, field work and poetic form: how do these transmute and translate one another? What does literary art have to say about the health of the planet? The honey bees? About the great migrations, the resplendent woods? The sustainability of our habits? What effect might literature, and literary artists, have on the world our children inherit? View the flyer in
