A Literary Summer Begins
It’s been a very literary summer in Duluth and Superior.
First, the Duluth Failed Poets Society met at Wussow’s Concert Cafe to celebrate a new book. Laminated Wildflowers is a celebration both of craft and of community. (It’s also a sequel to Murder Your Darlings.) Photos and video of the event are available on Instagram.
Then, students in my class (WRIT 4200) celebrated the forthcoming publication of their annual collection, Right Here, Nowhere to be Found. The collection includes writers from multiple continents, as well as Duluth luminaries.
Superior stepped into view with the Frame It event, where I was able to grab some solid works by local authors. Big props to Jade Wong for organizing this amazing event and, more significantly, ongoing exhibition.
Perhaps my favorite acquisitions were books by an underappreciated Duluthian, Michelle Mathees, whose work can be heard on prx.org, among other places.
It’s been the start of a great summer and I can’t wait for the literary events that are next.
