Literary Pilgrimages
SOMOS is planning its inaugural Literary Pilgrimage for May 2020. Our destination will be Ireland, breath-taking setting of the great literature of Joyce, Yeats, CS Lewis, Wilde, among others. It will be an 11-day adventure for 20 literary pilgrims. Learn More
Our Place
SOMOS’s place for words in Taos is located at 108 Civic Plaza Drive, within the emerging Civic Plaza Cultural Corridor. Although we moved into this place in May 2016, it wasn’t until early 2019 that this place became 100% SOMOS’s place. Read the story!
Writers Showcase
On February 14, SOMOS brings Chigozie Obioma to the Harwood Museum auditorium. Obioma is winner of the inaugural FT/Oppenheimer Award for Fiction and was a finalist for the Man Booker Prize 2015. Learn more.
Poet Laureate
The Poet Laureate initiative, created in 2018 by SOMOS in conjunction with the Town of Taos, raises awareness of Taos as a national center for the contemporary literary arts. Catherine Strisik is our second laureate. She will serve throughout 2020 and 2021.
