WELCOME!
The Friends of D.H. Lawrence is a not-for-profit educational and cultural organization dedicated to preserving and fostering the rich heritage of creativity left by D.H. and Frieda Lawrence, including the preservation and renovation of the D. H. Lawrence Ranch north of Taos. Membership is open to all who want to sustain the Lawrence's legacy.

Our next event:

The Taos Friends of D.H. Lawrence have announced the date of their third annual spring reading.

The program, entitled “D.H. Lawrence and Friends, a Festival of New Mexico Writers,” will be presented Friday, March 30th at 7:00 p.m. at Mabel Dodge Luhan House.

A series of local writers, teachers and literary enthusiasts will read from the great works of New Mexico literature, which will include a wide selection of works ranging from D.H. Lawrence to Frank Waters, with many others to be included.

As many as a dozen readers will read selections in a fast-paced format that engages the audience. The spring readings have drawn packed houses for the past two years.
