Page Lambert shares her love of writing on this exclusive river journey for women, using her talent and expertise to help teach us how to express ourselves in creative and connected ways. Let the mystery and magic of life unfold as you journey down the river through the powerful landscape of Westwater Canyon. Discover the joy of outdoor adventure while exploring the creative wilderness of your own inner landscape.
Recipient of a 2004 Literary Fellowship from the Wyoming Arts Council, Page Lambert was described in Inside/Outside Southwest Magazine as one of the most notable women writers of the contemporary West. Her memoir In Search of Kinship and novel Shifting Stars continue to draw high praise. Picked by the Rocky Mountain News as “one of the summer’s hottest reads,” The Midwest Book Review out of Wisconsin had this to say about her memoir: “…a rare privilege to read such writing…In Search of Kinship is to be kept, treasured, and returned to, for the glints and patina reflected in it are soul-enlightening.”
Lambert, who has facilitated over 100 workshops, retreats, and readings throughout the U.S. and Canada, was one of 15 women writers selected from around the nation to contribute to Writing Down the River: Into the Heart of the Grand Canyon. (Photos and essays to be on display beginning May, 2004, at the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport Gallery.) “This is scripture from the depths of our remaining wilderness,” said Hugh Sidey of Time Magazine. “Kathleen Jo Ryan’s Writing Down the River may be the most unique adventure book of the year….” Additional excerpts from Lambert’s work most recently appear in the anthologies Heart Shots: Women Write about Hunting, and Deep West: A Literary Tour of Wyoming. She has written for numerous publications, including Parabola: Magazine of Myth and Tradition, and the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Her latest creative nonfiction work, Sweet Water, was written while sequestered for a month in a remote cabin in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. She lives in the Black Hills of Wyoming and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, where she explores the inner and outer landscapes of a life in transition.
