An Interview with Leif Enger about Virgil Wander
A few years ago, Leif Enger came to speak at Hutchmoot, the annual Rabbit Room conference. That year, he and I had both gone through sudden medical crises.

North Wind Manor and the Power of Place
Since the inception of the Rabbit Room community, we’ve believed that real relationship requires more than merely an online exchange of ideas.
