SUMMARY:First Draft: A Dialogue On Writing W/ Ben Fountain
DESCRIPTION:First Draft: A Dialogue on Writing\n\n\n\nW/ BEN FOUNTAIN \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent @ 6:30 pm / DOORS @ 5:30 pm \n\n\n\nFREE W/ RSVP \n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / ALL AGES (Under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLIMIT OF 4 RSVP PER PERSONGroup Sales are available to our Business Advocates\, learn more \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent @ 6:30 pm / Doors @ 5:30 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT FIRST DRAFT: A DIALOGUE ON WRITING\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenre: PANEL \n\n\n\nFirst Draft: A Dialogue on Writing is a literary podcast produced and hosted by Mitzi Rapkin. Each week the podcast features an in-depth interview with a fiction\, non-fiction\, essay\, or poetry writer. The show is equal parts investigation into the craft of writing and conversation about the topics of an author’s work. \n\n\n\nABOUT RASPUTIN SWIMS THE POTOMAC \n\n\n\nRasputin Swims the Potomac is a biting satire of American politics and a searingly intelligent novel about the cruel absurdities of contemporary life\, centering on a world champion professional wrestler with presidential ambitions. Reporter Clarence Thomas Jr. is looking for a great story\, former country music teen star Faith Spack has parlayed her fame into a job at the White House\, and the two-term incumbent president is campaigning for a constitutionally dubious third term. After an outbreak at a campaign rally\, a mysterious new pandemic of “weeping sickness” sweeps the nation\, threatening the president’s hold on the Oval Office. Desperate to retain power\, he enlists the mystical pro wrestler Rasputin to help ensure his reelection and guarantee additional seasons of his presidential reality TV show\, The Real West Wing. But as Rasputin’s appeal threatens to exceed the president’s\, and the wrestler’s supposedly supernatural powers start to seem like the real thing\, the campaign finds itself trapped in a spandex-clad destiny no number of executive orders can control\, one in which both Clarence and Faith are compelled to play increasingly large parts. Hilarious\, compelling\, and tragically relevant\, the novel is both an escape and a warning\, a scathing satire that explores the twists and turns of American democracy as it hurtles toward authoritarianism. \n\n\n\nABOUT BEN FOUNTAIN \n\n\n\nBen Fountain is the author of several works of fiction and nonfiction including the award winning Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk\, which won the National Book Critic’ Circle Award for Fiction. Some of his other work include Brief Encounters with Che Guevera\, Beautiful Country Burn Again\, and Devil Makes Three. His work has received the PEN/Hemingway Award\, the Los Angeles Book Prize for Fiction\, and a Whiting Writers Award\, and has been a finalist for the National Book Award and runner-up for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. He lives in North Carolina. \n\n\n\nLearn more about Ben Fountain: WEBSITE \n\n\n\nABOUT MITZI RAPKIN \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMitzi Rapkin is the founder\, host and producer of the literary podcast\, “First Draft: A Dialogue on Writing\,” which features a new author interview each week. She has interviewed more than 500 contemporary writers of fiction\, nonfiction\, essays\, and poetry over the past eleven years. Her conversations explore essential questions about what it means to be human alongside the craft of writing and the themes of the writers’ works. Rapkin is also a journalist\, fiction writer\, certified integral coach\, facilitator\, and fiction-writing instructor.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about / Listen to First Draft: WEBSITE  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEVENT @ 6:30 pm / DOORS @ 5:30 pm\n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / ALL AGES (Under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian)\n\n\n\nLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: The Arts Campus At Willits

SUMMARY:Building Better Relationships With Nature With Emma Marris
DESCRIPTION:Building Better Relationships With Nature With Emma Marris\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM @ 7:00PM / DOORS @ 6:30PM \n\n\n\nGENERAL ADMISSION $20 \n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / ALL AGES \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ROARING FORK OUTDOOR VOLUNTEERSLIMIT OF 4 TICKETS PER PURCHASER \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT BUILDING BETTER RELATIONSHIPS WITH NATURE WITH EMMA MARRIS\n\n\n\nGENRE: PRESENTATION + Q+A \n\n\n\nHumans have done a lot of damage to the environment\, but we can also be a force for good. Some ecosystems need ongoing care and stewardship to thrive\, especially in a warming world. This talk will suggest how a perspective shift from saving nature from humans to improving human relationships with other species can enlarge our thinking\, make new approaches possible\, and create an energizing space for mutual human-nonhuman flourishing. \n\n\n\nABOUT EMMA MARRIS  \n\n\n\nEmma Marris grew up in Seattle\, WA\, and while she has lived all over\, she eventually ended up in Portland\, Oregon\, just a few hours away from her hometown. What can she say? She missed the moss. \n\n\n\nEmma has been writing about the environment for over 20 years\, beginning as a staffer at the journal Nature and eventually freelancing for National Geographic\, Wired\, the Atlantic\, Nature\, the New York Times\, among others—as well as writing two popular science books\, Rambunctious Garden (2011) and Wild Souls (2021). She has a Master’s in Science Writing from Johns Hopkins\, 2004. \n\n\n\nEmma has written several peer-reviewed papers for environmental ethics and conservation science journals and contributed to scholarly edited volumes. Her core interest is in human relationships with the nonhuman world\, but she has also written about music\, film\, and even true crime. \n\n\n\nEmma believes in hope\, and she believes that good futures are still available to us. Imagining those good futures and writing towards them is her life’s work. \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE ABOUT EMMAR MARRIS: WEBSITE \n\n\n\nABOUT ROARING FORK OUTDOOR VOLUNTEERS \n\n\n\nFounded in 1995\, Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers aims to foster a diverse and engaged community of outdoor stewards working collectively for the benefit of our public lands. RFOV connects people to the land and each other through hands-on conservation projects and education programs. Much more than just a “trails group\,” the organization strives to create an enduring positive impact across the region\, conserving the iconic landscapes we all cherish and uplifting local communities. \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE ABOUT ROARING FORK OUTDOOR VOLUNTEERS: WEBSITE / INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors open @ 6:30pm / Program @ 7:00pm\n\n\n\nSeated Show / All Ages\n\n\n\nLocation: TACAW\, 400 Robinson St\, Basalt\, CO 81621\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: TACAW & in Partnership with Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers
