See You in St. Louis Next Week?

 I do hope, if you're near, that you can join me for an exclusive lecture and some book signing. It'll be at the Kemper Art Museum and my title is

THIS IS HELL: IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD

It'll be at 5:30pm on May 6. 

It will not be streamed. 

Organized in conjunction with the exhibition Santiago Sierra: 52 Canvases Exposed to Mexico City’s AirTimothy Morton, Rita Shea Guffey Chair in English at Rice University and director of the Cool America Foundation, will give a talk to celebrate the publication of their  new book Hell: In Search of a Christian Ecology (Columbia University Press, 2024), which explores the relationship between religion and ecology in response to the climate crisis. Morton is the author of several books that bring together politics, art, and ecological studies to better understand how we coexist with one another and with non-humans. 

A book signing will follow the talk. Purchase Hell: In Search of a Christian Ecology in the Museum Shop. 

Free and open to the public. Registration is requested.
