An Evening with Barry Lopez
February 1, 7:00pm - 8:30pmMānoa Campus, Art Auditorium

Essayist, short-story writer, and environmental writer Barry Lopez will give a reading and talk.
Barry Lopez is the author of four celebrated works of nonfiction, including Arctic Dreams, for which he received the National Book Award; About This Life; and Of Wolves and Men (a National Book Award finalist). Considered one of the nation’s premier environmental writers, he explores the relationship between human cultures—especially those of indigenous peoples—and physical landscape.
He is also the author of several award-winning works of fiction, including Light Action in the Caribbean, Field Notes, Winter Count, Crow and Weasel, and Resistance. About his fiction, he says, “My purpose is to clarify the possibilities for human life. To say, ‘Yes, we do live in an ambivalent human world, but it is possible to choose to lean into the light.’â€
Lopez is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Literature Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the John Burroughs Medal, and Guggenheim, National Science Foundation, and Lannan fellowships.
This event is made possible by the MÄnoa Foundation, Augellara Foundation, MÄnoa: A Pacific Journal of International Writing, Pacific Writers' Connection, and Biocultural Initiative of the Pacific, an interdisciplinary group at the University of Hawai‘i at MÄnoa.
