Crowe releases ‘New Natives’

Acclaimed Western North Carolina author Thomas Rain Crowe will present his new book, “New Natives: Becoming Indigenous in a Time of Crisis and Transition,” with photographer Simone Lipscomb at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 13, at City Lights Bookstore in Sylva.

“New Natives” is a reflective call to reawaken ecological consciousness and restore our bond with the natural world. Blending essay, memoir, poetry, and philosophy, Crowe explores what it means to become “native” to a place through stewardship and reverence. Drawing on his life in the Southern Appalachians and the wisdom of thinkers like Thomas Berry and Robin Wall Kimmerer, Crowe weaves activism, ecology, and spirituality.

Lipscomb, a photographer of more than 50 years and Crowe’s longtime collaborator, complements the text with images that link environmental action to personal and spiritual renewal.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 828.586.9499 or visit citylightsnc.com.
