  • Farrar, Straus and Giroux | 6/4/2019 Surprise That Borders Have Become So Porous
    Losing Earth A Recent History Nathaniel Rich An instant classic: the most urgent story of our times, brilliantly reframed, beautifully told By 1979, we knew nearly everything we understand today about climate change—including how to stop it. Over the next decade, a handful of scientists, politicians, and strategists, led by two unlikely heroes, risked their careers in a desperate, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late. Losing Earth is their story, and ours. The New York Times Magazine devoted an entire issue to Nathaniel Rich’s groundbreaking chronicle of that decade, which became an instant journalistic phenomenon—the subject of news coverage, editorials, and SCIENCE conversations all over the world.

  • Obit Magazine
    Alternate Obituaries by Matt Blanchard APRIL 26, 2011 Maybe someday every obituary will be as honest as Steve Almond’s, but let’s hope not. In 24 inches of unblinking newsprint it is revealed that Almond was a middling writer with crippled dreams, that students in his writing course found him creepy in a sexual way, and that his death came “after a long battle with hope.” Was Almond survived by an adoring family? Not exactly: … He was a loving but distracted father who was eager to please his two children, but often felt he could not reach them. He depended on his wife for support and grew resentful toward her because of this dependence. She, in turn, retreated from his hostility. This is not the form obituaries take in our culture, but it could be. Almond’s is one of 44 alternative obituaries gathered from writers, comedians, sculptors and video artists for “Let It End Like This,” a Tribeca gallery show reimagining a genre that traditionally conceals as much as it reveals. Contributors include the writer Susan Orlean, the electronic musician Moby, feminist and Six Feet Under script writer Jill Soloway, and legendary Saturday Night Live comedy writer Alan Zweibel (creator of Roseanne Roseannadanna, among other sketches), who tacked up a simple paper headstone communicating a kind of posthumous Portnoy’s complaint: Alan Zweibel Writer-Husband-Father 1950-2045 If you can read this, it means you are standing 6 ft. above my former penis “Let It End Like This” runs to May 14th at Apexart in Tribeca, and is almost too diverse to characterize.

Welcome readers. Each day, all of us make a decision on where to channel our energy, time, and interests. In tandem with all the commitments swirling in life, you have chosen to be with us here, now, in this beautiful place, to show your passion for creative writing. We do not take your gesture lightly. We are honored to host you as our guests over the next two and a half days. Welcome to our home at Arizona State University! Here at the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing, we strive to help you in your own individual journey as a reader and a writer. This conference exists because we believe your voice, the unique person you are, adds intrinsic value to the larger conversation in creative writing. We believe in the power of community. We are not a singular voice, but many singular voices, resonating as everyone together. We believe in your words—how these words form a larger collective and become the catalysts for innovation, inspiration, motivation, and change. Along with who we are, where we are matters as well. Place, to me, is the actual ground people stand on. We may live our lives in whatever ways we do, but we live somewhere, we are somewhere, and we make our presence somewhere.
