On April 14th, from noon to 1 PM, the poet Athena Kildegaard will visit Winona’s Minnesota Marine Art Museum (MMAM) to read from her work and discuss how her latest book, Prairie Midden, engages with the history and ecology of the Minnesota prairie. Kildegaard’s presentation will enter into dialogue with the MMAM’s current exhibition of works by artist Ian Hanesworth, Fragments of this Living Earth, which spans disciplines of printmaking, textiles, and poetry, and asserts the critical interconnectedness of human and ecological wellbeing. Thanks to a special grant from First Tuesday: The Laureate Writer’s Series and from the Maria W. Faust Sonnet Contest, admission to this noon event is free.
