Work in Public with John R. Lanci Polls indicate that the number one fear people have is a fear of public speaking. Fear of death only comes in second. Join John Lanci for a workshop on how to overcome fear and become a more effective reader of your own work. John, current vice president of the Western Colorado Writers’ Forum, has forty years of public speaking under his belt—as a teacher, a giver of stirring sermons, and a retreat master. Our time together will be a workshop, not a lecture, in which participants share their experiences as well as their own tips for sharing their work with others. NO ONE WILL BE FORCED TO FACE THEIR FEARS!! Come and listen to your peers, and share if you like.

at Paradox Geologic and a Research Professor, Western Colorado University. She lives in the Gunnison Country. From the publisher: This tenth book in the Geology Underfoot Series offers an inside view of the uniquely enigmatic landscape west of the Continental Divide in Colorado. In this arid region where mountain snowmelt drains through deep canyons en route to the Gulf of California, the crumpled gneisses of the Colorado Rockies meet the famous red rocks of the Colorado Plateau. Nothing is simple here, with rich metal ores filling fractures of supervolcanoes, small mammals flourishing in a world of giant dinosaurs, and rivers shifting course with each new uplift or eruption of lava. Join a team of geologists as they use clear prose, concise illustrations, and dramatic full-color photographs to tell the deep-time stories of 26 geologic sites, including four giants of the national park system: Mesa Verde National Park, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado National Monument, and Dinosaur National Monument. Fossil collectors, rockhounds, hot potters, coal miners, and adventurers of all ages can use this guide to better understand the geology underfoot throughout Colorado’s beautiful Western Slope.

Go As A River with author Shelley Read. About the
more...0
author: Shelley Read is a fifth generation Coloradoan who lives with her family in the Elk Mountains of the Western Slope. She was a Senior Lecturer at Western Colorado University for nearly three decades, where she taught writing, literature, environmental studies, and Honors, and was a founder of the Environment & Sustainability major and a support program for first-generation and at-risk students. Shelley holds degrees in writing and literary studies from the University of Denver and Temple University’s Graduate Program in Creative Writing. She is a regular contributor to Crested Butte Magazine and Gunnison Valley Journal, and has written for the Denver Post and a variety of publications. From the publisher: From the Publisher: Inspired by true events surrounding the destruction of the town of Iola in the 1960s, Go as a River is a story of deeply held love in the face of hardship and loss, but also of finding courage, resilience, friendship, and, finally, home—where least expected. This stunning debut explores what it means to lead your life as if it were a river—gathering and flowing, finding a way forward even when a river is dammed. It’s poised to be one of the biggest debuts of the spring, with rights sold in twenty-eight territories and counting, and a major movie deal to be announced soon.

STRANGERS
Hailing from all corners of the country, Kind Hearted Strangers began in Boulder, CO-where an impromptu open mic performance by songwriter Marc Townes quickly evolved into something much bigger. With genre-bending improvisations from lead guitarist Kevin Hinder and bassist/vocalist Ace Engfer, KHS has become a dynamic full band capable of bridging the gap between all-out rock n’ roll and their harmony-driven acoustic roots.
Their debut record “East//West” (2021) digs into the places they’ve come from and explores the places they’re going to, with a diverse sound that reflects the broad influences each member brings to the band.
Tickets are $20. Doors open at 6:30 Show starts at 7pm
