This Thursday night, May 15, at 7:00 p.m., Morgan Sjogren, the 2024 Writing from the Land writer-in-residence, will explore what "Writing From the Land" means to her. From living out of her tent and hiking long distances to taking deep dives into obscure areas for stories, she will share blunders like climbing remote mesas to submit story assignments to nearly rolling her Jeep while covering a story. At Robber's Roost, 200 West and Main Street, in Torrey, Morgan will read excerpts from Path of Light, recent reporting work, and writing completed during her Entrada residency.
The author of Path of Light: A Walk Through Colliding Legacies of Glen Canyon, Morgan writes about Western land and water through a lens of history, culture, science, and adventure for Arizona Highways, Archaeology Southwest, bioGraphic, and Sierra Magazine. She writes and launches her explorations from Utah’s canyon country.
