SUMMARY:Publication Party for Shy Lands
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, April 23\n2:00 pm – 4:00 pm\nDanish American Center\n3030 W. River Pkwy.\nMinneapolis\, MN 55406 \nDiane Jarvenpa announces the publication of her new book of poetry\, Shy Lands\, published by Blue Light Press! \nJoin her for a book release celebration Sunday\, April 23rd at the Danish American Center\, Minneapolis. \nRefreshments available and maybe also a few tunes. \n“There is a subtle and proficient music in Diane Jarvenpa’s poems. They derive their power from how deeply she sees and listens to herself and to the earth.We can both celebrate and grieve earth’s wonders\, those which are extinct and those which are gloriously still with us — if we immerse ourselves in the natural world and “let it enter and grow in our bodies.” – Freya Manfred \n“Shy Lands\, the country Diane Jarvenpa inhabits\, the country we all inhabit\, is ravaged and threatened\, but still\, with her power to convert the observed into a ‘cold wild song\,’ she finds for all of us some kind of inspired redemption.” – Tim Nolan \n“She uses words the way an impressionist painter deploys color\, ‘know[ing] how all this works\, the close and the distant\, / the heap and faded\, / the swoop and the click.’ This new beauty is only possible in a shy and quiet land\, the one she creates for us here.” – Joyce Sutphen

SUMMARY:Confluences: Writing\, Composing\, and Making Art from Art
DESCRIPTION:Poet Sheila Packa and artists Sara Pajunen (musician\, composer\, artist)\, Wendy Durrwachter (musician & composer)\, Kathy McTavish (digital artist and composer) and Leslie Hughes (textile artist) give a reading and artist talk called “Confluences: Writing\, Composing\, and Making Art from Art.” \n“Sometimes an encounter with certain artworks\, music\, or images of others can open a door and trigger a procession of images\, associations\, and reveries. The installation is a collection of work that reflects such encounters.” \nThe audience is invited to participate by way of postcards (bring their own or pick one up at the event) to write or draw an image\, association\, or reverie triggered by another’s piece of art. \nSurface Displacements published by Wildwood River Press is a book of poems that reflect the waterways and people’s lives in the North. The book is available for sale and as well as images from Sara Pajunen’s collection\, Mine Song. The photograph on the book cover is by Sara Pajunen.
