KAWC is pleased to host author and Arizona Science Desk Reporter, Melissa Sevigny for our next Spirited Discussion! Sevigny will read from her book, Mythical River, and discuss with attendees pertinent issues that it raises. Mythical River explores the history of the Colorado River Basin, including the science and policies that are integral to the current state of water in the West.
Melissa L. Sevigny grew up in Tucson, Arizona. Her lyrical nonfiction and poetry explores the intersections of science, politics, and history, with a focus on the American Southwest. She is the author of two nonfiction books: Under Desert Skies, published by the University of Arizona Press, and Mythical River, published by University of Iowa Press and named a “Nature Book of Uncommon Merit” by the John Burroughs Association.
