Join Utah Humanities and Torrey House Press for a guided walk and discussion with author and adventurer Craig Childs and Hopi Guide Bertram Tsavadawa at Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum.
The event will begin with a short, guided walk followed by a discussion centered around Craig's latest book Tracing Time: Seasons with Rock Art on the Colorado Plateau.
About the Book:
Craig Childs bears witness to rock art of the Colorado Plateau—bighorn sheep pecked behind boulders, tiny spirals in stone, human figures with upraised arms shifting with the desert light, each one a portal to the open mouth of time. With a spirit of generosity, humility, and love of the arid, intricate landscapes of the desert Southwest, Childs sets these ancient communications in context, inviting readers to look and listen deeply.
Craig Childs has published more than a dozen critically acclaimed books, including The Secret Knowledge of Water, Atlas of a Lost World, and his most recent Virga & Bone. He is a contributing editor at Adventure Journal Quarterly and his work has appeared in the Atlantic, New York Times, and Los Angeles Times. He lives in southwest Colorado.
