The reading is free and open to the public and is sponsored in part by the English department. A small reception will follow the reading. Please join us.
"Wrenched" (in honor of Earth Day)
The film Wrenched captures the passing of the monkey wrench from the pioneers of eco-activism to the new generation which will carry Edward Abbey's legacy into the 21st century. The fight continues to sustain the last bastion of the American wilderness - the spirit of the West.
Hosted by Department of Earth, Environment & Physics and 350 Ma
