Event Details

John Christian Hopkins is a Narragansett journalist, author, poet, teacher, humorist, and public speaker who resides in Arizona. Growing up in Westerly, RI, John transported his unique New England accent to the Southwest. His writings which are sometimes poignant, sometimes funny and irreverent, include the novels Twilight of the Gods and Two Guns, and Rhyme or Design: Narragansett Poetry. Other genres include non-fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, and more. Find his columns in the Four Corners Free Press and his radio show on KXAZ in Page, AZ. 

David Feela is a retired High School English Teacher who lives and writes in Cortez. He produces monthly columns for The Four Corners Free Press and The Durango Telegraph. A chapbook, Thought Experiments, won the Southwest Poet Series. A full length poetry collection, The Home Atlas, and his new book of essays, How Delicate These Arches, was chosen as a finalist for the Colorado Book Award. 

The Amazing Authors Tour 2015-2016 showcases published, engaging, amusing, fascinating and compelling writers from America's stunning Southwest. Our guest authors travel to Colorado libraries in Bayfield, Cortez and Telluride from October 2015, skipping December, then through May of 2016. These events are free and open to everyone.
