Poems about Pizza and Farm Equipment

Connie Wanek Mar 25, 2011 1 Comment

Poems about Pizza and Farm Equipment is a Spirit Lake Poetry Series event featuring two writers:

Michelle Matthees has three collections, “Served” “Outside” and “Junket.” She was a 2009 Jerome/SASE Emerging Writer and her work has been in “The Bloomsbury Review,” “Hayden’s Ferry Review,” “PANK,” “The Bellingham Review” and other journals.

Joyce Sutphen grew up on a farm near St. Joseph, Minn., and that is the impetus for her collection “First Words.” She also wrote “Naming the Stars,” which won a Minnesota Book Award and “Straight out of View,” which won the Barnard New Women Poets Prize in 1994. She has been a guest on Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion.”

Completely hypothetical question about drinking on the beach

shiny_simon Mar 23, 2011 37 Comments

July 4th weekend, two couples are sitting at the beach around mid afternoon watching their kids play in the sand.  They are at the “s” curve beach at Park Point, approx 100 yards to the right of the sidewalk.  They are talking quietly, drinking a few beers from cans.  Each open beer is wrapped in a can “coolie” or whatever you call them.  Each beer can is immediately put back in the small cooler when emptied. 

What are the chances that a community officer (or whoever patrols the beaches) will come up and hassle them?

4th Street Arts

dollhoff Mar 23, 2011 No Comments

Neighborhood Housing Services of Duluth is beginning an arts-based revitalization along East 4th Street.  The first step in this exciting process is by adding new artist-designed banners along the corridor and replacing the existing banners.  NHS will be paying a commission to the selected artist(s) as well as the fabrication of the winning design.  Visit the news tab on nhsduluth.org or click here.  Any additional questions, contact Dan Ollhoff with NHS at (218) 727-8604 ext. 207 or email him at dollhoff @ nhsduluth.org.
