Then at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1, the bookstore will present five contributors and the editor of “Water Bodies: Love Letters to the Most Abundant Substance on Earth.” It’s a collection of essays and poems. The five contributors — K. Maria Lane, Desiree Loggins, Santana Shorty, Leeanna Torres and Fatima van Hattum will read from and discuss the book. In addition, Laura Paskus will introduce the contributors.
