We Haven't Been the Same Since the Butterflies Flew Away is live here slicemagazine.org/we-havent-been-the-same-since-the-butterflies-flew-away-by-susan-tacent/ My story is out in the world in a journal I've admired since its inception. Bittersweet happiness as Slice is closing shop with this, its 27th Issue, but this is a story I care about in a journal I care about in a world I care about. There's that.

Re-Examining Conservation is accompanied by Writing Conservation: An Interactive Book-Based Installation compiled by Susan Tacent, Creature Conserve Writer-in-Residence, and Lisa Kahn Schnell, Creature Conserve Mentor. The installation includes a small reading library and two binders filled with excerpts from poems, prose, and science by contemporary writers to inspire thinking about conservation, as well as prompt pages for visitors to add their responses. The excerpts raise questions, pose solutions, mourn and celebrate the world all creatures share. As our understanding of what conservation means and how we can be active in conservation grows, our questions and answers will—and must—keep evolving. The binders were designed to be a work in progress. Our deep gratitude to all the writers who granted permission to share excerpts from their work: Marianne Boruch, Bianca Brown, Susannah Buhrman-Deever, Maddy Butcher, Ching-In Chen, James Crews, Michael DeLuca, Bathsheba Demuth, Thalia Field, Sophia Gholz, Jules Griswold, Ariana Nalisha Haji, Annie Hartnett, Alicia Hayden, Lita Judge, Christopher Kondrich, Carole Lindstrom, Marjorie Liu, Robin McClean, Miranda Mellis, Kate Messner, Celeste Mohammed, Oyedotun Damilola Muees, Baptiste Paul, Miranda Paul, Diana Renn, Alberto Ríos, George Sanders, Lisa Kahn Schnell, Joyce Sidman, Lucy Spelman, Susan Tacent, Kari Weil, and Brendan Wenzel.
