Peg Guilfoyle is the author of The Guthrie Theater: Images, History, and Inside Stories (Nodin Press), which won a Midwest Book Award and an Independent Publishers Award, and Offstage Voices: Life in Twin Cities Theater (Minnesota Historical Society Press).
Her newest book, An Eye for Joy: Noticing The Good World Everywhere is being released on November 5th, from Sea Crow Press. In it, she "invites readers to embrace the the impulse to wonder, the practice of noticing, and the deep inclination toward joy—no matter life’s difficulties. Through short, sparkling true stories, the author reveals how the good world is everywhere, waiting to be seen, savored, and celebrated daily. Each essay is a “diamond necklace” of moments that illuminate the beauty often overlooked, reminding readers that paying attention is a life-saving spiritual practice accessible to all." Mary Pettis is featured in one of Peg's essays.
