What is this Maine Climate Action Plan you’ve been hearing about? The Maine Climate Council submitted their final plans to Governor Mills in December 2020. The Maine Climate Plan covers a lot of ground, and this program, intended for a general audience, seeks to inform Mainers about what is on the horizon. Dr. Reich will discuss what the Maine Climate Plan means for Rockland and other towns and cities in Maine. A Q&A will follow the presentation.

Dr. Lenny Reich taught at Colby College from 1986 – 2014. With undergraduate degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics from Bucknell, and a Ph.D. in the History of Science & Technology from Johns Hopkins, he has also held major fellowships at the Smithsonian Institution, Harvard Business School, and the Dibner Institute for the History of Science and Technology at MIT. His research interests include the history of the electrical industry, especially the combination of science, technology, and the environmental impacts of technological change. Recently, he has been working on issues dealing with diet, agriculture, and environmental consequences, including its effects on climate.

Arisa White

Learn about the seven-year writing journey that started during White’s “Jesus Year” when her mother asked, “Do you want to write your father in Guyana?” Unsure what to say, White began penning epistolary poems addressed to her father. The poems and prose became documents of her daily life, citations from books, quotations from artists and cultural thinkers, song lyrics, and reflections on White’s spiritual condition. Feeling that this question of fatherhood wasn’t something she wanted to tackle alone, she hosted a call for submissions and community epistolary workshops for participants to write personal letters to distance, absent, or dead fathers, and patriarchal figures. The common themes of abandonment inspired White to write a poetic memoir that gives healing attention to the absences that shape our lives.

Arisa White is an assistant professor of English and Creative Writing at Colby College and author of several poetry collections, which have been nominated for an NAACP Image Award, Lambda Literary Award, California Book Award, and Wheatley Book Award. She is the co-author of Biddy Mason Speaks Up, the second book in the Fighting for Justice Series, which won the Maine Literary Book Award for Young People’s Literature and the Nautilus Book Award Gold Medal for Middle-Grade Nonfiction. Published in March 2021, from Augury Books, her poetic memoir Who’s Your Daddy is a lyrical, genre-bending tale featuring a queer, Black, Guyanese American woman who, while seeking to define her own place in the world, negotiates an estranged relationship with her father.

This event is presented as part of the Maine Humanities Council’s “World in Your Library” series.

Michael Grillo & Calvin

The Great Plague of 1348 swept across the European world with an unprecedented ferocity that brought cathartic changes to Late Mediaeval society. Suffering substantial losses of their populations shook the newly developed foundations of the emerging guild-democracies of fourteenth-century Italy, throwing their understanding of the world into question. Rather than viewing this era as an interruption in beginnings of the Renaissance, however, might we instead consider how the Great Plague era opened opportunities for rethinkings that in fact contributed directly to the Renaissance centuries that followed? Looking to the visual arts of the era, A Reconsidered World will explore how catastrophic urban depopulations caused a paradigm shift in how the Late Mediaeval peoples conceptualized their world, one that lead directly to the Renaissance sense of realism so familiar to us through our own view of the world through photography.

Dr. Michael Grillo is Professor of Art at the University of Maine. He writes on how Italian fourteenth-century images operate as primary sources that visually articulate ideas inexpressible in any other media, including the verbal realm. Dr. Grillo received his PhD from Cornell University with a dissertation on Medieval History of Art. He continued this work with his 1997 book, Symbolic Structures: The Role of Composition in Signaling Meaning in Italian Late Medieval Painting. He is also a practicing photographer and seeks to explore how aesthetic theories play out directly in application in our world, particularly how photography operates as a cultural specific visual modality.
