Katie Arnold – Brief Flashings in the Phenomenal World

Author Talk
* Friday, May 3, 5:00 pm

In the midst of hardship, Katie Arnold turns for support to the Zen practice she had long dabbled in.

Brief Flashings in the Phenomenal World is a Zen study wrapped in a memoir that tells the story of a search for stillness by a woman born for wildness. Spanning roughly two years, from shortly before the accident through the long, uncertain healing of both leg and marriage, it is a personal narrative of that tumultuous time nested inside meditations on Zen.

Katie Arnold is the author of Running Home and a contributing editor at Outside Magazine. A Zen practitioner and elite ultrarunner, Katie teaches writing workshops exploring the link between movement and creativity.
