Swan is the winner of the 2017 Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award and is a lecturer at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in the areas of eco-criticism, environmental humanities, and environmental justice.
In her book Where Honeybees Thrive, the poet, artist, and scholar of environmental literature blends interviews, poetry, and traditional research into a story of sustainability and near global decimation. Astonishingly, given the material and nature of some of the art presented, her book is full of hope for honeybees and the rest of us. As part of her appearance at the MFA, Swan will specifically address the bees at our rooftop apiary.
