Project

At Faberllull, she will be working on Iceberg Parties, a collection of short stories about how the climate change crisis has and will affect teenagers, fishermen, local economies, and animals large and small.

The title short story Iceberg Parties focuses on teenagers in Iceland trying to figure how to save the icy land they love while also wondering if they should leave the melting island for somewhere else. They struggle to figure out what they can do, who they are, who they love, and where to go next. Lori Kozlowski is also working on a short story within the same collection called "Whales" that focuses on orcas.
