Mas Masumoto event at Tattered Cover

Tattered Cover Presents
Rocky Mountain Land Series
David Mas Masumoto
Sunday, October 25, 2:00 pm, Colfax Avenue

Edible Front Range, Slow Food Denver, Denver Urban Gardens, and the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union join the Rocky Mountain Land Library in presenting David Mas Masumoto as he discusses and signs his new book The Wisdom of the Last Farmer: Harvesting Legacies from the Land ($25.00 Free Press). “The only voice from within farming that sings of both its pleasures and its pains, Mas Masumoto’s words are so deeply rooted in his farmwork that they sweat, sting, and shine all at the same time. America’s most articulate orchard-keeper, its most earthy writer, Mas eloquently captures the everyday beauty, heartbreak, and moral complexity of a multigenerational family intent on ‘bearing fruit’ despite insurmountable odds.” —Gary Paul Nabhan, author of Renewing America’s Food Traditions
