SUMMARY:June Writer's Night: Writing Sense\, a Conversation with Kathryn Wilder
DESCRIPTION:Our senses inform us. They can also inform the reader. In this conversation\, we will pull examples from Wilder’s work—and from your own. Please feel free to bring short (one sentence or less) samplings of writing from the senses. We will share these\, and\, time permitting\, create some new samples to take home. \nJoin the WCWF for this fun\, interactive session with author Kat Wilder on Tuesday\, June 2\, 2026\, from 6-7:30 p.m. at The Art Center in Grand Junction\, 7th and Orchard. \n  \nSpeaker Bio\nIn Kathryn Wilder’s The Last Cows: On Ranching\, Wonder\, and a Woman’s Heart\, she reveals her ranching past (and more)\, chronicles the impact of cattle on our desert lands\, and raises questions about how seventy and cattle mix. Booklist says in a starred review that Wilder is “fearless in her prose and perspective.” This has won her a Colorado Book Award\, Western Heritage Award\, Ellen Meloy Desert Writers Award\, Nautilus Book Award\, and more. With an MFA from the Institute of American Indian Arts\, Wilder writes\, cowboys\, and lives among mustangs in southwestern Colorado.

SUMMARY:Spoken Word Open Mic Night - Fourth Fridays
DESCRIPTION:Join us every month on the fourth Friday for a Spoken Word Open Mic Night from 4:30-6:00 p.m. The Western Colorado Writers’ Forum has partnered with Carboy Winery in Palisade to bring you this opportunity to read your work. We welcome poetry\, prose\, storytelling\, and slam\, and all skill levels are welcome. \nSignups start onsite at 4:15 and there is a 5-7 minute time limit. We’ve had new readers attend these sessions\, and the time limits are our effort to ensure everyone has a chance at the mic. Any time limit is to encourage inclusion. \nThis event is in the production facility on the ground level\, so there are no stairs to negotiate. It is cooler in this room because this is where they make the wine. You may want to bring an extra layer. In warmer months\, we may host this event outside. \nPlease note that while a variety of beverages are available\, you are not required to purchase to attend this Open Mic. \nLocation: 3572 G Rd\, Palisade\, CO 81526.
