In this episode of YC and You (YCNU), host Michael Grady sits down with Lynn Durkee, Program Director of Yavapai College’s longstanding Literary Southwest series.
Lynn shares how the program brings nationally recognized authors to Yavapai County, creates meaningful interactions between writers and readers, and fosters a vibrant literary community.
They explore upcoming events—including the April 3 visit from graphic nonfiction author Nora Krug, whose book Diaries of War offers powerful civilian perspectives on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Lynn also reflects on past highlights, collaborations with Writers Read, and why books—and conversations about them—remain essential.
