7pm-8pm
Helen C. White Hall, Rm 6191
In "The Lightning that Strikes the Neighbor's House," Nick Lantz explores the transformative power of tragic and miraculous experiences...the Challenger explosion, Bigfoot, a love letter written from inside a missile silo, a mother naming and renaming a family's short-lived pets, and a plea for post-9/11 redemption.
Jennifer Boyden's "The Mouths of Grazing Things" is an unflinching, lyrical meditation on nature's forced exodus from the human, and the forms of longing, estrangement, magnetism, and self-otherness that ensue...
