Naila Moreira

We continue our summer fiction series with a form of literature that is not strictly "made up." 

Naila Moreira is a science and environmental journalist who also writes poems. Her new book of poetry, "Water Street," is immersed in the natural world. She wrote it while living alone in a farmhouse apartment on the Mill River in Leeds, Massachusetts. 

Karen Brown is a radio and print journalist who focuses on health care, mental health, children’s issues, and other topics about the human condition. She has been a full-time radio reporter for NEPM since 1998.
