These are among the stories from HIGHWIRE ACT \u0026amp; OTHER TALES OF SURVIVAL, where the climate crisis arrives not just as strange and violent weather, but as upheavals in our political and emotional climates as well. As characters struggle for survival with Covid, ecological destruction, grief, or mental illness, they attempt to find solace and restoration from a nature that is increasingly no longer in a position to give back. And with science unable to keep up, fake suicides, fairy tales, and delusion are the thorny tools humans are left with to carry on, yet carry on they do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoeAnn Hart is the author of the memoir \u003ci\u003eStamford '76: A True Story of Murder, Corruption, Race, and Feminism in the 1970s\u003c\/i\u003e (University of Iowa Press, 2019).
