Celebrating National Poetry Month - Heidi Czerwiec

Join us for our second installment in our National Poetry Month reading series this Friday, April 17th at 7 p.m. with poet Heidi Czerwiec. The reading is free and open to the public.

Heidi is assistant professor of Literature and Creative Writing at the University of North Dakota, where she is also the Director of the annual UND Writers Conference. She is the author of "Hiking the Maze" (Finishing Line Press, 2009) and has poems and translations published or forthcoming in Measure, Nimrod, Evansville Review, Southern Indiana Review, Hunger Mountain, and International Poetry Review. Copies of "Hiking the Maze" are available at Zandbroz Variety in downtown Fargo and at www.amazon.com. Copies will also be available at the reading.

"Hiking the Maze" is a patient meditation on the spirit of landscape and its effects on humanity. Heidi is a warm and engaging individual with plenty of stories to share.

Celebrate National Poetry Month with Us

For this season so new and formidable,
do something that transforms and delights.
Find yourself immersed in verse

for these three Fridays. Listen
in on the discourse of humans
that call this region home

for now or forever. Let words
be the signposts of myth and desire,
put them on, try them out.
Take them home.

All readings are at 7 o'clock p.m.
and held in Stoker's in the Basement.
All readings are free and open to the public.
