On November 13, Jude Nutter and Thomas R. Smith will read at Somers Lounge, CSS, for free. 7:30 pm.
Jude won last year’s MN Book Award in poetry with a terrific book called I Wish I Had a Heart Like Yours, Walt Whitman. She was raised on the grounds of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany, and the poems in this book concern some of that experience.
Also reading is Thomas R. Smith, who has a brand new book from Red Dragonfly Press called The Foot of the Rainbow. Don’t miss this reading — it’ll be great. Oh, and Spirit Lake now has a website: spiritlakepoetry.wordpress.com.
I had the opportunity to attend a performance of this charming production on opening night. A talented group of young actors and a kid-friendly run time (just over an hour) truly make this an event for the entire family (not to mention a great way to introduce a younger generation to a well-loved musical!).
