SUMMARY:Whales\, Candy\, Insects & Jellyfish: Three Writers Speculating on Environmental Crisis
DESCRIPTION:A reading of CNS faculty member Deborah McCutchen's creative 
 non-fiction and speculative fiction works\, "Whale Road" and "Jellyfish 
 Dreaming"\, with the underlying purposes to create community and 
 conversation around the themes of environmental crisis and conservation 
 explored in their writing. Two other local authors\, Kirsten Mosher\, and 
 Cindy Snow\, will read highlights from their own speculative fiction works 
 on the theme of environmental crisis\, expanding the conversation beyond 
 the walls of UMass until the greater community.\n\nCindy Snow's writing has 
 appeared in the Massachusetts Review\, Peace Review\, Worcester Review\, 
 and elsewhere. She holds an MFA in Poetry from Drew University\, and she 
 recently published a series of poems on the 17th century botanical artist 
 Maria Sibylla Merian. Cindy lives in western Massachusetts and works at 
 Greenfield Community College.\n\nKirsten Mosher is a visual artist and 
 writer living in Massachusetts. Her flash-book Zero (minutes to) Home was 
 published by Selektion (Frankfurt\, 2021)\, and her chapbook Plea$e Steal 
 Me for 100 Plus Dollar-zz has been recently published by Lily Poetry Review 
 Books. She's published in Ellipsis Zine\, the Bath Flash Fiction 
 Anthology\, The Cormorant Broadsheet and Sonder Magazine\, and is 
 forthcoming in Exacting Clam. Her series Automotive Stories occasionally 
 show up in the Automotive sections of local newspapers. She's currently 
 working toward an exhibit at Frac Pays de La Loire in Carquefou\, Nantes\, 
 France\, opening November 2024.
