Southern Oregon Digital Archive
Diana Coogle reading tarot cards at a commune, 1975.

The voice may sound familiar: Diana Coogle delivered audio essays on JPR News for years. 

Now she's back to talk about her own life story, as it involves a commune, Houkola, in the Colestin Valley by the state line. 

That story is the focus of this month's , compiled and curated by Maureen Flanagan Battistella.  Diana and Maureen come to the studio to share the story.
