TERRY TEMPEST WILLIAMS
Monday, October 18 at 7 p.m. at Seattle First Baptist Church, 1111 Harvard

Presented as part of the Seattle Spiritual Synthesis series with Seattle First Baptist Church. One of our longstanding favorite authors - one whose work is near and dear to many here - makes this welcome return from her Utah home with a most timely, eloquent, impassioned collection of essays. The Open Spaces of Democracy (Orion) is the newest in the Orion Society's series of topical books on matters of substance and urgency. In these essays, which originally appeared in Orion Magazine, Terry Tempest Williams does offer substance, perspective, foresight. "In a time of despair Terry Tempest Williams offers us hope. In a season of confrontation she provides connection. Against the passions of war she wields peace. To the bray of hubris she speaks quietly of reflection. And all, each magical phrase of it, is rooted in the land she loves." - Carl Pope, The Sierra Club. Her other books include Refuge, An Unspoken Hunger, Leap, and Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert. Free admission. Seattle First Baptist Church is located at 1111 Harvard, the corner of Seneca & Harvard, on Seattle's First Hill. For more information on this evening, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600.
