On April 14, 2021, University of New England and UNE North hosted author and activist Andri Snaer Magnason via Zoom to present his latest book, On Time and Water, live from Iceland. After Mr. Magnason's presentation, guests took part in a virtual book club in smaller breakout rooms and came together for a Q & A with the author. We were pleased to host 75 guests via zoom from across Maine and New England and a few from across the country.

We want to thank our co-sponsor, Maine North Atlantic Institute at the University of Southern Maine, and our partners, the Portland Museum of Art, and the Portland Public Library.

Of On Time and Water, Jacob Dykes of Geographical writes:
“Magnason explores a disconnect unique to our present generation when nature no longer exists as an immutable force of its own governance. His solution is to adopt a more romantic reverence for nature’s beauty and power. Decisions on environmental protection should not be based on economic imperatives, but instead on our elemental affinities with the natural world."
