Iowa is full of stories, including those of rural life, agriculture, and polluted surface waters – and no one tells them quite like Pulitzer Prize winner Art Cullen. Join us on Zoom for a conversation with this Iowan on his new book “Marty, We Crapped in Our Own Nest: Notes from the Edge of the World.”

Co-sponsored by LWV UMRR ILO & LWV Metro Des Moines, this book discussion will explore impacts of a changing climate (physically and politically) on the lives of rural Iowans, highlighting stories in Cullen’s diverse hometown of Storm Lake. But, no matter where you live, his vision for a state powered by sustainable agriculture for the health of all its residents is sure to inspire you.   An engaging speaker, Cullen is also the winner of a Pulitzer Prize for his writing in the Storm Lake Times.​

This event is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Upper Mississippi River Region.
