SUMMARY:Mountain Artist in Residence Talk: Remain
DESCRIPTION:"Remain" is a forthcoming interdisciplinary poetry and 
 performance project by WVU Libraries 2026 Mountain Artist in Resident poet 
 L. Renée that 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?\n\nWorking 
 with environmental\, geological\, and community archives from the West 
 Virginia & Regional History Center\, Renée will examine how both human and 
 non-human life endure\, and are altered by\, violent ecological 
 rupture.\n\nThrough four original poems created using erasure\, 
 contrapuntal\, found\, and ekphrastic forms\, "Remain" will transform 
 archival materials into layered acts of witness and remembrance.\n\nThis 
 public program will feature a short film documenting Renée’s creative 
 process\, a live performance of the poems\, and a visual display of the 
 works\, followed by a Q&A.\n\nHeld during National Poetry Month and Earth 
 Week\, the event invites audiences to consider archives as living spaces of 
 memory and poetry as a tool for care\, resistance\, and collective 
 meaning-making.\n\nThis collaborative WVU Art in the Libraries and WVRHC 
 program is sponsored by the Appalachian Community Development Association 
 and The Oakland Foundation.
