Colorado author Erika Wurth has written novels, short stories, poetry and non-fiction. Her latest book, White Horse, is a piece of literary horror that explores themes of loss and identity through the lens of a protagonist who, like Wurth, is an urban Indian. Today on the news, a conversation with Wurth about writing contemporary Native American fiction and being part of a new wave of Indigenous literature. Plus, the Park City Lift Maintenance Professional Union has formed, and it's the first of its kind in the country. And later, the effort to unionize Starbucks workers arrived in Boulder, Colorado.
