Whiting Award-winning author Amy Leach graces Greenlight’s virtual stage  to present The Everybody Ensemble, her newest collection of short, gloriously inventive essays that invite us to see and celebrate anew the “clattering, sometimes discordant but always welcoming chorus of glorious pandemonium” that is our world. In a discussion covering dragonflies, petunias, and encounters with beavers alongside questions of honesty and precision in writing and the comparative merits of research vs. experience, Leach and acclaimed author Eula Biss (Having and Being Had) concoct a potent and effervescent tonic for our times.
