“If or When I Call is a novel about desperate people shot through with arrows of grace that only a writer as sensitive and insightful as Will Johnson can wield. Lives in small towns are not small, and neither is this author’s heart.”
– Wiley Cash, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Ballad and A Land More Kind Than Home. Writer-in-residence at UNC-Asheville
Between interstates and county lines, life in rural Missouri unfolds in a progression of simple moments that carry the weight of every hard thing gone by. Parker and Melinda are searching for themselves in the hollows of their estranged marriage. Parker, haunted by the demons of addiction, lives every moment at the edge of an undiagnosed disorder — a darkness that steals his awareness and throws him into convulsions. Melinda, on an odyssey of her own, knows Parker’s struggles all too well, and as they try to help their teenage son come to terms with their lives apart, they have only their memories of a brighter life to get by.
Haunting and lyrical, Johnson’s powerful debut is a hymn to the lives we overlook in the quiet places around us. And how close we are to living them ourselves.
Will Johnson is a musician and songwriter who has played in the bands Centro-matic, South San Gabriel, Marie/Lepanto, Overseas, New Multitudes, and Monsters of Folk. He also releases records under his own name, and makes paintings centering on the subject of baseball and its history. His work has appeared in American Short Fiction. He was born in Kennett, Missouri, and currently lives in Austin, Texas. If or When I Call is his first novel.

Small-group/in-person program
Join us inside the Museum for family-friendly yoga and mindfulness. Today’s program takes place in our Explore Asheville Exhibition Hall, visiting our special exhibition Beauford Delaney’s Metamorphosis into Freedom. The artist’s pursuit of depicting light as bold abstractions inspires us to find our inner lights, our bold colorful chakras, and let them shine. Our sequence explores the seven chakras and discover our own metamorphosis into freedom. Bring your own mat (required) and props (optional). Face coverings and social distancing are required. All ages and abilities are welcome; recommended for visitors aged 5+ (children must be accompanied by an adult). Space is limited; more info and register at ashevilleart.org/events.

Donation Based Yoga in the Park with Tara Eschenroeder
May we align our breath to sync with the beating of our hearts, healing ourselves and this planet from the inside out. Wandering through this life we connect with the elements. Through the earth, our breath, and Yoga we ground deep in our roots. The air is wild, free and full of possibility. Water nourishes our souls while reminding us to go with the flow. We ignite the fire of passion and light an awakening within, becoming one with the elements and connecting under one sun.
