Join us for Bright Light Stories in the Night, a virtual event in the deep of winter, where Rochester Mayor Kim Norton, Dr. Jeffery Boyd, Dr. Jess Garcia, Eric Kerska, Lorelai Lewis, Kesarin Mehta, Claudia Tabini, and Juan Vasquez will read from a special e-chapbook of family-friendly poems written by local writers and illustrated by local artists. The event will be emceed by Vivien Williams, and special guest Susan McMillan, Rochester's Poet Laureate, will also read an original work and lead a question and answer session with the project's poets and artists following the reading.
Just when winter seems like it will never end, Bright Light Stories in the Night will allow us to gather together and celebrate the light and connections we have in our community.
This activity was made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
