“Stronger than hope,” is one way that the incisive and yet gentle writing of NYT best-selling author Terry Tempest Williams has been described. So I am honored to interview Terry to drop deeper with her into the natural world discussing The Glorians: Visitations from the Holy Ordinary. Her storytelling reveals how we can recognize our own “Glorians” in our everyday lives and why that recognition is needed now more than ever. They’re not alien nor hidden, we may just not have noticed them in quite the same way before, and once we do we cannot miss them. Meet Terry Tempest Williams at Collected Works on Monday, March 9th at 6:00 pm.

Neil King Jr. takes us on an American Ramble: A Walk of Memory and Renewal. That is the title of his exquisite memoir that took him, and will take you the listener and reader, on a journey from Washington, DC to New York City on paths you have likely never traveled before. Neil walked the 330 miles over 26 days taking literal roads less travelled alongside mighty rivers and delightful fishing creeks, across America’s lost farmlands into quiet villages, acknowledging our famous monuments to battle and blade and skirting suburban mansions and urban thoroughfares. At every turn he meets surprising characters, occasional adversity, frequent joy and moments of transcendence. Beautifully written, a book you will treasure forever and perhaps inspire you to take your own walk. Meet Neil at Collected Works bookstore at 6:00 pm Saturday, May 13. www.neilkingjr.com

Honored today to be joined by Buddhist Dharma teacher, Cynthia Jurs, celebrating the publication of her book Summoned By The Earth: Becoming A Holy Vessel for Healing Our World. As a young woman, Cynthia undertook a pilgrimage to Nepal to meet a revered, aged Rinpoche who she hoped would answer her heartfelt question, “What can I do to bring healing and protection to the earth?” He told her that his monks would make her small clay pots called Earth Treasure Vases infused with prayers and to bury them in land with the greatest need for healing. With the help and friendship of indigenous and tribal peoples all over the globe Cynthia has taken Earth Treasure Vases to more than 20 countries in the past 30 years. Her story is extraordinary. You can meet her at Collected Works on March 22nd at 6:00 pm and discover the depth and breadth of her global healing quest at gaiamandala.net and at summonedbytheearth.org

Today, a delightful and fun chat with author and playwright Rosemary Zibart and director Nick Stofocik ahead of their long-awaited production City Mice. How does a playwright find a director and actors who can turn her long-nurtured seed idea and carefully-crafted script into a play ready for the audience and critics? What happened when Rosemary handed over City Mice to Nick? The answer may surprise you. We also clarify the reasons why Hollywood screenwriters and SAG actors are striking, and again that answer may not be what you think. City Mice will be playing at Teatro Paraguas in Santa Fe for two weekends, August 3–5 and 10–12 at 7:30 with matinees on Sundays, August 6 and 13 at 2:00. city-mice.ticketleap.com

Truly a personal honor to interview celebrated author and National Medal of Arts Recipient, Julia Alvarez, here with her new novel, The Cemetery of Untold Stories. Can a writer ever bury her characters? What happens when they climb out of their graves and come alive, surprising the local barrio residents and even the author herself.
