Join Moon Palace Books on Tuesday, March 21st at 7pm for a reading and conversation with Heidi Barr and Meghan J. Ward to celebrate their books Collisions of Earth and Sky and Lights to Guide Me Home.

Collisions of Earth and Sky is an invitation to live in a way that is attuned to nature, paying attention to what's going on inside ourselves and in the larger collective.  Lights to Guide Me Home is at once a captivating travelogue and an introspective look at what it takes to navigate the unfamiliar and find your way back home.
