Join author and river advocate David James Duncan (The River Why, The Brothers K, My Story as Told by Water) and McKenzie River Trust for an inspiring and thoughtful conversation about the relationships between people and the natural world around us. Duncan will reflect on ideas from recent works, including his 2023 novel Sun House, which explores the American search for meaning and love, and a forthcoming collaborative book of essays, Going to See, inspired by Barry Lopez. Tickets are $15, and student tickets are $10. Purchase your tickets for Upstream online or in person at The Shedd.
Join us early to visit the Cole Gallery, where McKenzie River Trust staff will be available to share about our current and upcoming projects. You can purchase featured titles from J. Michaels Books and view the Arboreal Angler Collection. Doors will open at 6:30pm.
Following the presentation, David James Duncan will be available to sign books.
“Upstream” is a series of annual events hosted by McKenzie River Trust. These gatherings are designed to inspire conversation about the complex and interdependent relationship between humans and the natural world.
