Join the Blake School and Milkweed Editions January 18, 2022 from 7:00-8:00 PM CST to celebrate Pulitzer Prize Finalist, Elizabeth Rush, author of Rising: Dispatches From the New American Shore, which the Chicago Tribune calls “the book on climate change and sea levels that was missing.” Journalist Tom Weber will join Rush onstage for a conversation about empathy, vulnerability, the impacts of climate change, and Rush‘s poetic approach to reportage. Visual artist and cultural organizer Shanai Matteson will open the program with a poem about water. A book signing will follow.
