Taking inspiration from Barry Lopez’s urgent call, this event features CCA faculty working across fiction, nonfiction, and poetry to explore how contemporary writers confront the crises and transformations defining our moment—climate change, political instability, and social justice movements.

Each author will read fresh work that engages with the present by bearing witness, interrogating systems, and imagining new futures through the lens of literature. This theme feels especially resonant with the Bay Area’s legacy of radical art and activism, while also spotlighting the bold, genre-crossing work happening in our communities.
