07 Apr Talking Gourds: Allred on “Lights in the Sky” at West End Stories & Poems, 4/9!
Leslie Ament of Naturita and Art Goodtimes of Wrights Mesa will be hosting Jami Allred in a talk about “Lights in the Sky” at West End Stories & Poems. The event takes place at the Naturita Community Library on Thursday, April 9, 6 pm.
Stories & Poems is free and available to library patrons of all ages thanks to the generosity of the library, a Town of Telluride CCAASE grant, private donors and Talking Gourds’ Fischer and Cantor poetry contests..
West End Stories & Poems happens the second Thursday of each month. The featured guest gives a 30-40 min. presentation, followed by a short Q &A period. Then there’s a passing of the gourd to give community members a chance to speak
The library provides free refreshments.
Note: The Fischer and Cantor contests are both currently open for submissions.

Jami Allred is an advocate for protecting our dark skies, and she wants to support community members in sharing and connecting over their sightings and experiences.
“If we can be receptive to what is going on outdoors and in our skies,” explains Allred, “the community will become more connected and invested in protecting our unique little piece of nature.”
A local author, Allred also enjoys sharing and discussing topics such as holistic health and metaphysics. You might find her at Wild Gals in Naturita with its many health products.
