Whitefish Review will release the “Change” issue on June 4 with a celebration at Casey’s in downtown Whitefish. The evening will open at 7 p.m. with live music and a slideshow of the changing glaciers of Glacier National Park. The event is sponsored by the Whitefish Community Foundation and Glacier Bank. A $10 entry donation is requested.
Readings will begin at 8 p.m., beginning with a discussion by research ecologist Dr. Daniel Fagre on the Glacier Recession Repeat Photographs that show before-and-after images of the receding glaciers. Fagre works for the USGS as director of the “Climate Change in Mountain Ecosystems Project.” Author and scientist Cristina Eisenberg will read from new work, with live music to follow by three-piece jazz group Barrel Stove Combo.
In addition to fiction, essays, poetry, art, and photography by more than 40 contributors, the issue contains a new interview with author Jim Harrison, one of the last interviews he gave before his death.
