Join us for a reading by Shaun Griffin, Nevada’s Poet Laureate, from his new book of poems, No Charity in the Wilderness.

No Charity in the Wilderness is a long journey into the new American West. From the southern border to the isolating two-lane highways in the desert, this collection is a prayer of reconciliation with so much that troubles us …

“No Charity in the Wilderness should loft Griffin’s literary reputation into company with William Stafford, Gary Snyder, and Annie Dillard, as he is clearly one of the most powerful and spiritual voices of the new American West and beyond. These new poems are a conscience for our world.”
—Douglas Unger, author of Leaving the Land and Voices from Silence
