Hiker, Writer, Cancer Fighter! Presentation of "Dear Park Ranger, an Adventurous, Nationwide Memoir." Join Jeff Darren Muse, a former wilderness ranger, REI employee, and resident of Santa Fe, for a lively reading and discussion in the Community Room at REI in the Railyard District. In 2023, when Wayfarer Books published Dear Park Ranger as he worked for Bandelier National Monument, Muse was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer requiring surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Today, he participates in a clinical drug trial that helps him keep on keeping on! Learn more at www.jeffdarrenmuse.com. With him, let’s celebrate getting outdoors and his award-winning book, which Kirkus Reviews calls “(an) evocative consideration of the dualities of beauty and pain found both in nature and ourselves.” This free event includes the opportunity to purchase the book and have the author sign it.
