About this Event
Poet and filmmaker Gretel Ehrlich went to Wyoming in 1975 to make the first in a series of documentaries when her partner died. Ehrlich stayed on and found she couldn’t leave. Ehrlich captures both the otherworldly beauty and cruelty of the natural forces—the harsh wind, bitter cold, and swiftly changing seasons—in the remote reaches of the American West. These essays form an evocative and vibrant tribute to the life Ehrlich chose and the geography she loves.
How it works: for each edition of our book club we’re going to select one book we enjoy that engages themes of death, grief, or nature. We’ll announce the selection and give you time to read it before we meet in-person at the Larkspur Library for an enriching discussion.
We will meet Thursday, January 28th, 2026 from 11am-12:30pm CST for our community discussion.
Participants will be responsible for purchasing their own copy of the book or borrowing from the Nashville Public Library prior to our event.
The first 30 minutes of book club will be for coffee/tea, snacks, and mingling, then we will get settled and dive into a 1hr discussion of the book! Registration for this book club will be limited, so make sure you reserve your seat early!
