TumbleWords, an anthology of works by 72 western writers, is the result of a Western States Arts Federation project developed to bring writers and their audiences together in direct and unforgettable ways. From 1992 to 1994 poets, novelists, short-story writers, and essayists from Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming gave readings and workshops in places where audiences have little, if any, access to contemporary writers. This anthology is a permanent record of the words spoken at those first TumbleWords readings.
Author of the Wyoming memoir In Search of Kinship, and the Wyoming historical novel Shifting Stars, Page Lambert is an advisor for the Rocky Mountain Land Library, member of the International League of Conservation Writers, Colorado Authors’ League, founding member of Women Writing the West, and a longtime member of Wyoming Writers.
She has been writing about the western landscape and leading nature retreats in the West for twenty-two years, including the Literature & Landscape of the Horse retreat held at the Vee Bar Guest Ranch near Laramie.
Lambert's writing can be found inside monumental sculptures at the Denver Art Museum, online at Huffington Post, and inside the pages of dozens of anthologies.
Recently published works include the essay “Not for Sale” (Langscape Magazine, 2018), “The Rural West” (The Light Shines from the West, Fulcrum Books, 2018), and “Deerstalking” (Memoir Magazine, Guns and People Issue, 2018).
Forthcoming works include essays and poems in WAVES: A Confluence of Women's Voices (Room of Her Own Foundation, 2019).
A recipient of two Literary Fellowships from the Wyoming Arts Council, Page designs and teaches graduate writing courses for the University of Denver’s Professional Creative Writing Master’s Program.
She writes the popular blog All Things Literary/All Things Natural from her mountain home west of Denver, Colorado.
