Photo of Samuel R. DelanySamuel R. Delany is arguably the most daring, wide-ranging, word-drunk, idea-besotted writer of science fiction and fantasy that the U.S. has ever produced. In his 45-year professional career, he has extensively explored issues of language, gender, race, sexuality, power, and otherness. Author of Dhalgren, Babel-17, and numerous novels, stories, and critical and philosophical works including his new novel Dark Reflections, he never fails to deliver a dynamic evening. One of a handful of African American SF authors, he has won numerous national and international awards including the Hugo and Nebula, and was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2002. Delany is Clarion West's 2007 Susan C. Petrey Fellow.Appearing Tuesday, July 24.

The area must be at least 8,000 square feet and have access for a 40 foot truck and trailer.
Tammy lives in her truck on-site and 24-hour access to a bathroom (or Port-A-Potty) must be provided.
60 goats can eat about 1/4 acre (10,000 sq feet) in about 3-5 days. - mohit - 8 hours ago1 FaverViewed: 16 Times
