NIC to host environmental writers for Get Lit!

North Idaho College is hosting authors Ana Maria Spagna and Josh MacIvor-Andersen for a free discussion on “Reclaiming Environmental Writing: An Outdoor Reading and Writing Seminar” from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, April 27 in Cheamkwet Park at the Children’s Center Pavilion on NIC’s main campus. The event is part of the Get Lit! Festival hosted by Eastern Washington University each year.
