About this listen

 This year, Colorado author, poet, journalist, and Crestone Poetry Festival founder Peter Anderson completed a book ten years in the making. Reading Colorado: A Literary Road Guide takes readers on major and minor highways throughout Colorado, making place-centric literary pit-stops along the way. In this episode, John and Christie talk to Peter about "deepening the map" of Colorado, how a literary map even comes together despite the magnitude of such a project, his career-long fascination with how landscapes affect people, and what you can expect at the upcoming Crestone Poetry Festival (this week!). Other topics include Peter's brief stint living in the ghost town of St. Elmo, and a deep dive into why so many types of people - from spiritualists to cowboys - end up in Crestone. If you love the concept of "place" in writing, you don't want to skip this one.
