Amy M. Hale is an award-winning author who lives and works on Spider Ranch, a 50,000-acre cattle operation in the
rough terrain of Central Arizona where the goal is to raise food in a sustainable manner while working in tandem with
government agencies. Amy and her husband, Gail Steiger, who cowboy together on the ranch, are sought-after
presenters of story, spoken word, and music in venues all over the country.
While Hale writes about the specific places she inhabits, she inspires readers to find and inhabit their place in the world. Hale’s distinct voice is infused by flash & slam and her innate ability to distill ideas appeals to readers who are aspiring to dwell in the sacred everyday, or longing to leave behind that which is safe, but small.
This program is part of the 2025 Salina Reads community read event series which is funded in part by an NEA Big Read grant. NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
