A beloved folk singer presents an impassioned account of the fall and rise of the small American towns she cherishes.
She has played their venues, composed in their Coffee shop.
Dubbed by the New Yorker as one of America\'s very best singer-songwriters, Dar Williams has made her career not in stadiums, but touring America\'s small towns.
A beloved folk singer presents an impassioned account of the fall and rise of the small American towns she cherishes.
What I Found in a Thousand Towns is more than a love letter to America\'s small towns, it\'s a deeply personal and hopeful message about the potential of America\'s lively and resilient communities.
Drawing on her own travels and the work of urban theorists, Williams offers real solutions to rebuild declining communities.
Here, in an account that reads as if Pete Seeger and Jane Jacobs teamed up (New York Times), Williams muses on why some towns flourish while others fail, examining elements from the significance of history and nature to the uniting power of public spaces and food.
She has seen these communities struggle, but also seen them thrive in the face of postindustrial identity crises.
She has played their venues, composed in their Coffee shops, and drunk in their bars.
