Into the Khumbu by Alan Weltzien

With Mary E. Crane and Other Writers

Step into the high Himalaya through Alan Weltzien’s luminous new collection, Into the Khumbu. In these spare, crystalline poems, Weltzien takes us along the slate roofs and prayer flags, the moraines and icefalls, and into the knowing eyes of village elders. A humble traveler, he leaves no trace but offers the gift of words that let us “exhale” and “drop into the mouth of the Khumbu.” This is a journey well worth taking.

Special guest Mary E. Crane will also read from her collection Last Call of the Dark.
