“The water we drink, like the air we breathe, is not a part of our body but is our body. What we do to one - to the body, to the water-we do to the other. --- Do you think the water will forget what we have done, what we continue to do?” ― Natalie Díaz, Postcolonial Love Poem

Meet Nina,
our newest bookseller!
|
We are very excited to invite Nina to our team of super booksellers!
Before moving to Durango, Nina could be found waist-deep in the Alaskan intertidal earning her M.S. in Fisheries from the University of Alaska.
Now she spends her time waist-deep in plants and pet hair, tending to her garden and various animals. Nina loves running, knitting and reading in pools of sunlight.
Nina is currently reading Shit Cassandra Saw and, along with several of our other booksellers, is thoroughly enjoying it!
