Author Panel: The Art and Science of Conservation

“Art is far more likely to inspire a change in our behavior than a string of scientific facts.” This is the thesis of the new anthology Creature Needs, in which writers respond to published animal conservation studies with poems, stories, and essays.

In celebration of the tandem centennial birthdays of the Talbot County Free Library and University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, legendary Chesapeake Bay journalist Tom Horton will moderate a panel exploring the art and science of conservation with Creature Needs contributors and award-winning authors Christopher Kondrich and Kyoko Mori.

Tickets are free; registration is required. Doors open at 1:30 and the first 50 arrivals will receive a free copy of the book. Book signing and community reception follow.

This program is presented in partnership with Shore Lit, Talbot County Free Library, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science's Horn Point Laboratory, and the Prager Family Center for the Arts.
