Come celebrate the diversity and beauty of Minnesota’s herons at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. At the August 1^st event, four poets featured in the recently-published anthology, Broad Wings, Long Legs: A Rookery of Heron Poems, will use poetry to evoke the mysterious hold these birds have on us. The poets reading include: Winona’s first poet Laureate, James Armstrong; St. Paul poet and essayist James Silas Rogers, who is also the anthology’s editor; poet and Minnesota Public Radio host Emily Bright, producer of the long-running arts series Art Hounds and Ask a Bookseller; and two-time Poet Laureate of Duluth James Johnson, author of eleven books of poetry. Stephen Winter, Wildlife Biologist with the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, will provide his expert commentary. Learn more.
