Join Obi Kaufmann for an in-person signing of The Coasts of California at Kepler’s Literary Foundation.
In his signature style fusing science with art and pure poetic reverie, painter-poet and naturalist Obi Kaufmann presents an epic new work, The Coasts of California. With hundreds of watercolor maps and illustrations, Kaufmann invites a full immersion into the astonishingly varied natural worlds that hug California’s shoreline, as well as an expansive, detailed walk down the California Coastal Trail.
Like all of his books, The Coasts of California is as much a guide as an inspiration. Join Kepler’s for a special event with the author as we explore not just the land around us, famous worldwide for its wildness and diversity, but also as we learn a sense of scale here, a sense of self, and how to see.
