Mountain Words Festival 2026

Known for her seminal work, Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place, Williams has long been an advocate for wild spaces and wildlife. This visit to Mountain Words heralds the arrival of her newest book, The Glorians: Visitations from the Holy Ordinary. Williams is joined by festival favorite and science journalist, Ben Goldfarb, known for his books Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter and Crossings: How Road Ecology Has Shaped Our Planet.

Due to Terry's limited time, there will not be a signing line for her appearance. For those interested in a signed copy of Williams' work, Townie Books will have freshly signed copies of her work. If you have already purchased The Glorians from Townie Books and would like it signed, please drop it off at the bookstore tables at the Center no later than 6pm on Friday. The bookstore will be unable to accommodate signing of previous books that were not purchased recently from Townie Books.
