The Tinker Creek Project

Join us in our Tinker Creek Project, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and the City’s newest stretch of greenway. Together, we’ll read the book; hear from guides (close readers who have spent time with the text); and explore potential public art projects.

Between now and April 8, we’ll read the book together and explore how we might bring it to life along the greenway.

Pilgrim at Tinker Creek was published by Harper’s Magazine Press in 1974, winning the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction). We’ll have online discussions and get out on some visits to the site from the 13th Street NE trailhead to Mason Mill Park. Join us as we celebrate the role of the natural world in teaching us to see, exploring together how we might pass along the work’s sense of curiosity and wonder.
