Perhaps the most urgent crisis we face on the planet is that of the planet itself. The effects of the destruction of the Earth’s natural systems reach across all boundaries of nationality, economics, religion, ethnicity, and language to touch each of us. In the opening event of the World Voices Festival, we’ll hear writers read from the work of other writers on the subject of the natural world. We’ll hear from other countries and other centuries; we’ll hear passionate, lyrical, and compelling voices raised in response to our gorgeous, mysterious, and imperiled earth.
