On Resilience: Stories of Climate Adaptation Across Washington's Landscapes
Washington State Poet Laureate Derek Sheffield will join ten poets from across the state for “On Resilience: Stories of Climate Adaptation Across Washington's Landscapes,” a public reading at the Village Books Fairhaven.
The evening brings together poets from the Salish Sea to the Cascades to the Columbia Plateau to read work rooted in the places they call home: coastlines, rivers, forests, farmland, and cities reshaped by wildfire, drought, flood, and sea-level rise.
The poems illuminate how people, plants, animals, and watersheds are adapting, and what it will take to live well in a changing Washington. Harriet Morgan, Climate Change Coordinator for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, will open the evening.
