"Ancient Light" Poetry Author Visit

with Kimberly Blaeser at the Mahnomen Public School

Join us at the Mahnomen Public school for a community feast and author visit featuring Poet Laureate Kimberly Blaeser.

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.

This program will be held in partnership with the Manoomin Arts Initiative and Mahnomen American Indian Education. A meal will be served at 5:30 p.m. curtesy of Mahnomen American Indian Education. Kimberly Blaser will begin speaking at 6 p.m., with a book signing and giveaways to follow. Attendees can enter Mahnomen Public School through cafeteria door #2. 

Kimberly Blaeser is a member of the White Earth Nation, founding director of Indigenous Nations Poets, the author of six poetry collections and a photographer. The program is offered free-of-charge thanks in part to funding from the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.
