Turn the Page with Colorado Matters: “Go As a River”

At the bottom of Colorado’s largest reservoir lurk the remnants of a town. Iola was inundated to make way for Blue Mesa Reservoir. Author Shelley Read imagines life in Iola before the flood in her remarkable new novel “Go As A River.” It follows a family that must tend to their peach orchard as they tend to their own grief. Read with us, and see how it is possible to miss a place you likely have never been.

Get a copy of “Go As A River” and join Colorado Matters the evening of September 13 to meet Ryan Warner and Shelley Read in-person at Love Recital Hall in the Moss Performing Arts Center on the Colorado Mesa University campus in Grand Junction.

Reserve a seat for the event here.

The audio will be broadcast on Colorado Matters and posted on this page after the event.

The September Turn the Page event is supported by Elevation Press of Colorado.
