Our guest speaker and lecturer next week will be the Icelandic poet and author Andri Snaer Magnason, whose most recent work, On Time and Water, is a bestseller in Italy in the Italian edition published by Iperborea. He is currently working on his documentary Apausalypse in which he travels around Iceland interviewing artists and philosophers on the impact of the pandemic on our lives. In his book On Time and Water, which will be next week's prize for our weekly trivia, he reflects on the impact of climate change on Iceland's glaciers in a personal memoir which blends science, poetry and his family history.

 

Andri Snaer Magnason will be our guest speaker at a morning meeting talk on Thursday May 27 from 10.25 to 10.45 and he will be joining our Environmental Systems and Societies 1 and Creative Writing classes on Thursday and Friday. Finally, parents and teachers are invited to a zoom talk (please RSVP by Friday May 21st by emailing janclaus.diblasio@sssrome.it) on Friday May 28th at 6 PM. Andri will share preliminary short readings and extracts for those who will attend the zoom talk.
