Writer, poet, and speaker Tanner Olson (’12) is in the spotlight. The CUW alumnus’ second book, “As You Go: Words for the Unknown” spreads hope, shares faith, and celebrates love. Soon after its September 2020 release, it reached No. 1 in Christian poetry on Amazon and was a trending topic online. As the founder of Written to Speak, an online creative project that blends faith, humor, and curiosity, Olson has been sharing poetry and telling stories online and in person since 2013. Visit writtentospeak.com to follow his work.
