@MtnWords was amazing this year and that smile on my face captures the feeling of friends old and new, the stories shared, and the wonderful community that surrounds us. I am filled with joy for the gift of a writing life full of incredible people. Join me next year!

ALT Watching My Friend Pretend Her Heart Isn't Breaking On Earth, just a teaspoon of neutron star would weigh six billion tons. Six billion tons equals the collective weight of every animal on earth. Including the insects. Times three. Six billion tons sounds impossible until I consider how it is to swallow grief— just a teaspoon and one might as well have consumed a neutron star. How dense it is, how it carries inside it the memory of collapse. How difficult it is to move then. How impossible to believe that anything could lift that weight. There are many reasons to treat each other with great tenderness. One is the sheer miracle that we are here together on a planet surrounded by dying stars. One is that we cannot see what anyone else has swallowed. —Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

Coming soon: A conversation about priceless manuscripts, book bans, and arguably the most repulsive story ever written.
Thanks to @joelmwarner for sharing the stage @MtnWords this weekend in Crested Butte to discuss “The Curse of the Marquis de Sade.” – at Denver, CO

Talking to Ryan was an absolute pleasure and an honor for a radio junkie like me. Stay tuned for the drop on his Crested Butte visit!
Townie Books is the literary heart of Crested Butte, and co-owner @ArvinRam1 is himself a writer. Like the protagonist in his forthcoming novel, Ramgoolam is often asked, “Where are you from?”
An answer depends on who’s asking.
