PASSAGES
The Texas literary community is a vibrant tapestry woven from the lives of writers, booksellers, publishers, librarians, and readers across the state. Our Passages page honors the meaningful milestones in those lives—welcoming new additions, celebrating unions, and remembering those we’ve lost. Here, you’ll find tributes, announcements, and reflections that mark the joys and sorrows shared by our literary family. These moments remind us that behind every book and bookstore is a human story worth telling.
