Alaska Author Night – Erica Watson

Erica Watson’s writing explores ideas of community, self, political action, and climate change at the intersection of the human and nonhuman worlds, and draws from experience living in lifelong intimacy with designated public lands. She works primarily in personal essay form, and is deeply informed by poetry, literary journalism, and political organizing.

She aims to write in a space that is both timely and documentarian, to access universal themes through the hyper-local and the microcosmic.
