Come and meet local author Simmons Buntin who will be here to read from, share photos, and sign his new book, Satellite: Essays on Fatherhood and Home, Near and Far. Buntin is editor-in-chief of Terrain.org and the director of marketing and communications at the University of Arizona. In Satellite, Buntin delves into the idea of belonging—in place, time, family, and community—in 16 essays written over two decades. How do we, as parents, extend and convey the added responsibility of caring for our changing planet and what that means for future generations?
“I can’t think of a better guide—to whiptails, desert super blooms, craft beer, constellations, photography, fatherhood, community, and, well, life—than Simmons Buntin. From Denver to Tucson, to the Bosque del Apache, Mt. St. Helens, and beyond, Buntin writes with equal facility about the beautiful, dynamic intricacies of the natural world and the many lovely, knee-buckling complexities of family. These wide-ranging, self-aware, astute essays will leave you enlightened and deeply glad—glad right down to your heart and bones, the feathery roots of what some of us might even call a soul.”
— Joe Wilkins, author of The Entire Sky and The Mountain and the Fathers
