VIRTUAL EVENTS

We are delighted to share recordings of our virtual reading event series with you! Focusing on the themes of Peter Matthiessen’s writing: nature, travel, Indigenous rights and Zen, these intimate gatherings connect us with the great writer himself, while bringing us together from around the globe.
