Please join us for a reading and conversation with Jerry Martien, author of Waveshock: Ed Ricketts, the Voyage of the Grampus, and Our Biopoetic Future, and editor of A Watershed Runs Through You, a collection of essays by bioregionalist visionary Freeman House. Waveshock reflects on the voyage and conversations of a cohort of four questing souls--Ricketts, environmentalist Jack Calvin, Calvin's wife, Sasha, and mythologist Joseph Campell--aboard a thirty-three-foot cabin cruiser. In A Watershed Runs Through You, Freeman House's engaging, lyrical essays offer equal parts inspiration and on-the-ground knowledge for our increasingly climate-challenged times.

The event will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the Stuart T. Rolfe room in Seattle University’s Admissions and Alumni building. It is hosted by the Seattle University Philosophy Department.
