The Festival of Faiths takes place every year in Louisville, KY. This year I’ll be speaking with Wendell Berry, Gary Snyder, Patrick Holden, and others over the 5-day gathering. This year’s theme: “Sacred Earth, Sacred Self.” Dates are May 13-18.

In just a few weeks I’ll be heading up to Grand Rapids to join a host of stellar writers for the 2014 Calvin Festival of Faith and Writing. Looking forward to giving a talk, sitting on a panel, and quaffing single-malt after hours with Scott Cairns.

Yonat Shimron of RNS did a nice profile of me and the book, which has been picked up by the Washington Post and a slew of other pubs.
