Eco-eating & Eco-poetics, writers of beauty

Trista Cornelius & Jim Grabill

Two published writers, two CCC instructors

Reading their latest

Jim is the author of a number of books, including An Indigo Scent after the Rain andPoem Rising Out of the Earth and Standing Up in Someone. His new poems have been published or will soon appear in The Common Review, The New York Quarterly, The Chariton Review, The Hamilton Stone Review, ecopoetics, Many Mountains Moving, Pemmican, The Bitter Oleander, and others.

	Trista spent last year on sabbatical, reading about food, writing about it, growing it, and eating it.  From the torment of quitting caffeine to the thrill of cracking open coconuts, Trista believes great adventure can be had through food.  While not eating, she took a few classes and remembered what it’s like to be a student—definitely not as easy as pie!
