SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Lessons from Nature on Life\, Death\, Renewal\, and Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Join author and photographer Margie Patlak for a virtual 
 discussion on the lessons we can learn from nature about life and 
 death.\n\nWithin a short span of time\, Margie Patlak lost her mother\, 
 sole sibling\, and father. Reeling from those losses\, Patlak returned to 
 live in Down East Maine\, where she spent her childhood summers. While in 
 mourning and writing about the wilder environment she experienced at her 
 new home\, Patlak uncovered many lessons nature was teaching her about the 
 nature of life. The three generations of monarch butterflies that it takes 
 to make their way from Mexico to Maine taught her the value of what is 
 passed on from generation to generation\, and the dramatic tides taught her 
 how fleeting time is and the need to make the most of it. Patlak will share 
 several of the vital lessons she and others have learned from nature about 
 life\, death\, renewal and legacy--lessons that helped her personally heal 
 from her losses.\n\nHer talk will be illustrated with her striking photos 
 of the alluring Maine coast. Patlak’s emotionally compelling presentation 
 will be followed by an opportunity for questions\, comments\, and 
 discussion.\n\nMargie Patlak is a science writer\, memoirist and 
 photographer. Her memoir More Than Meets the Eye: Exploring Nature and Loss 
 on the Coast of Maine was given the "Outstanding Book" award by the 
 American Society for Journalists and Authors in 2022. Patlak's personal 
 essays and articles have appeared in a number of newspapers\, magazines\, 
 and literary journals including The Los Angeles Times\, The Philadelphia 
 Inquirer\, The Washington Post\, Discover magazine\, Hippocampus\, 
 JuxtaProse and many others. She has degrees in Botany and Environmental 
 Studies and divides her time between Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania and 
 Corea\, Maine. Her latest work\, the photo book Wild and Wondrous: Nature's 
 Artistry on the Coast of Maine was published in 2023.\n\nThis is a virtual
