“poetry + environmental science + community =
a joyful rising in our climate-changed world“
“Author Camille Dungy will visit Kalamazoo on October 15 as part of Kalamazoo Valley’s Visiting Writers Series.”

“The Wick Poetry Center at Kent State University invites all who share in the alliance of poetry and science to a major, multi-day gathering in Kent, Ohio.
The gathering welcomes writers, scientists, researchers, educators, students, clinicians, policy makers, community organizers, and members of the public who are curious about the meeting ground between science and the imaginative life for three days of readings and panels, participatory events, formal and informal conversations, and a book fair.
Featured poets and scientists will include Poets for Science founder Jane Hirshfield, Arthur Sze, Tracy K. Smith, Camille Dungy, Maria Popova, Diane Ackerman, Kimberly Blaeser, Melissa Nelson, Alison Hawthorne Deming, Phillip Levin, Jane Lubchenco, and Brandon Kilbourne.”

“Please join us in welcoming visiting writer Camille Dungy to Elizabethtown College! This event will include a reading and book talk by Dungy, an audience Q-and-A period, and a book signing. Dungy is the author of five poetry and two essay collections, most recently Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden (Simon & Schuster, 2023) and America, A Love Story (Wesleyan UP, 2026). This event is sponsored by the Creative Writing Program and the Bowers Writers House. It is free and open to the public.”
“What does it mean to be a writer? How does an author find her style? The Visiting Writer Seminar is a semester-long course in which students have the special opportunity to immerse themselves in a study of one writer’s works. Throughout the semester, students read a critical mass of texts by that writer before the course culminates with the author’s visit to Walker’s. During this visit, the writer will teach master classes, conduct writing workshops, and participate in class discussion.”
