# Event Details - **Event Name**: Terry Tempest Williams: The Glorians - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join the revered writer and conservationist as she discusses her revelatory new work about natural beauty in a time of uncertainty.About this EventIn this time of political fragility, climate chaos, and seeking beauty wherever we can find its glimmer, Terry Tempest Williams introduces us to the Glorians. They are not distant deities, but the ordinary, often overlooked presences – animal, plant, memory, moment – that reveal our shared vulnerability and interconnectedness with the natural world. The Glorians can be as small as an ant ferrying a coyote willow blossom to its queen or as commonplace as the night sky. But what they can collectively show us – about the radical act of attending to beauty and carrying forward against all odds – is immense.Journeying through encounters with the Glorians in the red rock desert of Utah during the pandemic to Harvard University where she teaches in the Divinity School, Williams weaves a story of astonishing personal and societal insight. Join her for this rare discussion as she grapples with the unsettled state of the world, and turns not to despair but to deep reflection.Please note there will not be a book signing at this event; however, there will be signed copies of The Glorians available for purchase.ABOUT THIS EVENT'S GUESTS:Terry Tempest Williams is the award-winning author of over twenty books of creative nonfiction, including the environmental classic, Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place.
