Celebrate National Poetry Month by joining your library for a poetry reading featuring past Wisconsin Poet Laureate and Mahnomen High School graduate Kimberly Blaeser. Blaeser will read from her Ancient Light collection of poetry, accompanied by a visual photography slideshow, which invokes an ancient belonging and the voice of the deep relatedness the poet experiences in the watery regions of Minnesota. A book signing will follow the presentation.
Blaeser’s tour is sponsored by Lake Agassiz Regional Library and will include visits to the following locations:
- Monday, March 11 at 6:00 p.m. at the Crookston Public Library, 110 N. Ash St., Crookston, MN
- Tuesday, March 12 at 6:00 p.m. at the Climax Public Library, 104 W. Broadway, Climax, MN
- Wednesday, March 13 at 6:00 p.m. at the Mahnomen School Cafeteria, Door #2, 310 West Madison Ave., Mahnomen, MN
This event is made possible thanks to the sponsorship of the Manoomin Arts Initiative, Mahnomen Indian Education, and the Mahnomen Public Library. The program will include a free community feast beginning at 5:30 p.m. and a reading by Poet Laureate Kimberly Blaeaser at 6:00 p.m. - Thursday, March 14 at 7:00 p.m. at the Detroit Lakes Public Library, 1000 Washington Ave., Detroit Lakes, MN
