For the Earth Day author talk, on April 30th, Lake County Public Library and Cloud City Conservation Center hosted Fort Collins Author, Poet, and Scholar Camille Dungy. Dungy read excerpts from her book Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden and also a poem from her newest book America, A Love Story. The question and answer portion brought lovely discussions about the Dungy's writing process and gardening in Colorado's various climates. A huge shout out the Soup Hug for providing a dandelion soup for dinner at the event.
