Desert Readings

Several desert-oriented readings and book signings are coming up, with Ruth Nolan involved one way or the other.

First, her Phantom Seed reading series will take place at the Riverside Public Library at 1:00 p.m. on October 4, featuring desert poetry by Ruth, Chris Clarke, and others.

A second Phantom Seed reading will take place at the Palm Springs Public Library at 6:30 p.m. on October 27.

Also at the end of the October, (and also co-organized by Ruth!), authors Howard Wilshire and Jane Nielson will appear at two events in the Coachella Valley in support of their new book, The American West at Risk: Science, Myths, and Politics of Land Abuse and Recovery. Quick details below, and more to come in our upcoming newsletter and on our main website. Thanks to Ruth for her help organizing these events.
