Celebrating Arizona

Two third-generation Arizona writers who unabashedly adore their state (although not blind to its quirks and foibles) offer you two experiences in each episode: anything from a sweeping view of the Grand Canyon to a section of Phoenix canal. You also get a brief reading from each: a poem from Julie Morrison, paragraph from a book by Lisa Schnebly Heidinger. Then there’s the question of the day that we encourage you to answer (write to Us@celebratingAZ.com) and a bonus coffee mug of the day from Lisa’s huge Arizona collection. Grab a favorite beverage and jump in – we’re Celebrating Arizona!
