I spent the afternoon last weekend in Susanville, CA at the Lassen Trails and Tales Trust for a gathering of poetry with the Thompson Peak Writers. Lara Gularte shared her experience at the Himalayan Literature Festival in workshop and teaching in the school

Lassen Land and Trails Trust and the Thompson Peak Writer’s Workshop celebrated poetry Sunday, June 14 with this special appearance by El Dorado County’s Poet Laureate Emeritus Lara Gularte at the Historic Railroad Depot.

Lara Gularte shared her California rancher background and recent participation at the Himalayan Literature Festival. She read new poems from her book delayed in Portugal by US tariffs.

Every few months I drive up 395 through the changing development and rolling spaces of open cattle range to visit these prolific poets. Several local poets read their work, including Dianna Henning, founder of the Thompson Peak Writer’s Workshop, myself, Emily Avelon and Juley Harvey. Afterwards, pizza and beer at Lassen Ale!
