Author Terry Tempest Williams
Wednesday March 25th
How do we find beauty in a broken world? Who better to explore this question than Terry Tempest Williams. Hailed as a visionary by the Utne Reader, Williams is a naturalist and writer dedicated to expanding the intersections of environmentalism, feminism, and creative nonfiction. From her lyrical memoir, Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place (1992)—a recounting of the concurrent tragedies of her mother’s death from cancer and the flooding of the Bear River Migratory Bird Sanctuary—to her appearances in Congress and at the White House advocating for women’s health and for the environment, Williams has defied convention and categorization to advocate for causes that matter.
When: March 25th, 7:30 PM
Where: Newmark Theater, Portland, OR
