Myth-making is a central dimension of being human and fiction writers are the midwives of that process for the rest of us. Manuel Aragon, a Denver-based Latinx writer, director, and filmmaker reads his short story "The Last Snowstorm" and discusses the role of good fiction in the creation of a more just and compassionate future. Manuel is community engagement director for Lighthouse Writers Workshop and is currently working on Norteñas, a collection of speculative fiction short stories centered in the Northside, a Mexican and Mexican-American centered part of Denver, and the people, ghosts, and demons that live there.Show Notes:ManuelAragon.com"A Violent Noise" by Manuel AragonLighthouse Writers WorkshopIf you enjoy Mile High Theology and want this programming to continue, support Saint John's Cathedral by giving at sjcathedral.org/give.This podcast was recorded on the land of Ute, Cheyenne, and Araphao peoples.
