WVU Libraries’ 2026 Mountain Artist in Resident L. Renée will discuss and display the results of her interdisciplinary poetry and performance project “Remain” at 4 p.m. April 23 in the Downtown Library, Milano Reading Room.
Renée will draw on archival records of mountaintop removal mining to ask a haunting and urgent question: “After a mountain is stripped, blasted, displaced and ‘reclaimed,’ what truly remains?”
The event is being held in recognition of National Poetry Month and Earth Week.
