BWC synchronicity

The writing world offers some pleasant synchronicities now and then. Here's one: A BWC organizer reads this week in a series hosted by a BWC presenter, which presenter herself has a new book out.

Geoffrey Becker, a short story writer, novelist, and primary organizer of BWC 2010, will read from his fiction and answer questions at Anne Arundel Community College's Arnold campus on Thursday, Oct. 14 from 2-3:30 p.m. The event is free and is part of the Writers Reading @ AACC series, hosted by Susan Cohen.

Cohen, a writer and editor whose work focuses on the natural world, will participate on the BWC 2010 panel, "Words for the Natural World: Essays on the Environment". With Florence Caplow, Cohen most recently edited the volume, Wildbranch: An Anthology of Nature, Environmental, and Place-Based Writing, which was published last month by University of Utah Press. Her essay, "Dear Bowl" is included among writings by Alison Hawthorne Deming, Scott Russell Sanders, and others.
