Kristine S. Ervin will read from her memoir, Rabbit Heart: A Mother's Murder, a Daughter's Story, followed by presentations by writers from the DRC course “Haunted Taos: Ghost Stories as Social Justice” with a lively Q & A, discussion, refreshments, and book signing.

Doel Reed Center alumna and scholarship recipient, Lucy Emerho, took home the $1,000 grand prize for her submission to the Doel Reed Center’s 2025 t-shirt design contest.  A panel of judges reviewed over 25 entries before deciding that Emerho’s design best captured the spirit of the Doel Reed Center. Emerho, who studied in Taos in 2023, has recently begun her PhD program at OSU and reflects that “studying in such an inspiring environment sparked my creativity in ways I never expected.”  Look for Lucy’s t-shirts on campus and read her full interview here.
