Terry Tempest Williams

The Norwich Bookstore is coordinating with the Dartmouth College Environmental Studies Department to host Terry Tempest Williams at The George Link, Jr. Environmental Awareness Lecture. In her most original, provocative, and eloquently moving book since Refuge, Terry Tempest Williams gives us a luminous ... (more)chronicle of finding beauty in our world. With poetic prose, she examines the intricacies of mosaics in Italy, the complex human interaction with prairie dogs in the American Southwest, and the richness of healing in a small town in Rwanda after the genocide, and weaves these disparate threads into a meditation on how the natural and human worlds both collide and connect in violence and beauty.
Please note, this event is being held at Filene Auditorium at Dartmouth College, and is free and open to the public. Space is limited and seats will NOT be reserved.

Terry Tempest Williams will speak and sign FINDING BEAUTY IN A BROKEN WORLD.

Event will be held at Boulder Theater. Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at 303-786-7030 or www.bouldertheater.com.

"Taking notes in shattered worlds as her own family breaks and reshapes into something surprising and completely beautiful, Williams presets us with an incredible achievement, a beautiful, terrible, wonderful, hopeful witness. The farthest thing from insanity I've read."Alexandra Fuller author of Don't ... (more)Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight

"How a book could be this gentle and this heartbreaking simultaneously I do not know. But over a simple trajectory of mosaic-to-prarie-dog- to-comtemporary-genocide, Terry Tempest Williams leads us with methodical accuracy into the devastations and delights of now."John D'Agata author of Halls of Fame
