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:Nordic Ball is Back in Action
DESCRIPTION:Dust off your shoes and iron your linen blouses\, the Nordic Ball is back on! Tickets are available now or at the door. Begun in 1977 we took a two-year hiatus for Covid. For more on the history\, along with videos and music clips\, visit the Ingebretsen’s Blog! \nThe ball opens with a Grand March that everyone can participate in. Designed to greet one another\, this slow\, stately “walking dance” is a good time to show off your traditional drakt\, fantasy folk costumes\, or best dress. Live music through the evening throughout the evening from Ole Olssons Oldtime Orkestra\, McNordiques\, Hardingfelelag\, ASI Spelmanslag & Lillalag\, Ballade\, Lauluaika\, and the Twin Cities Nyckelharpalag. \nAll are welcome. No dance experience or partner is necessary for you to have a very fun time. The buffet table will show off delights from Scandinavian cuisine with coffee and tea on the ready. The Ukranian Center is a beautiful venue\, and their bar tender knows just what to mix at the cash bar. We will also pass the hat for the efforts to help Ukraine with emergency services\, re-building\, and other support! Tickets are $30 and available through Eventbrite or at the door\, and are required for everyone. Pre-sales are encouraged so that we can estimate food servings better. \nPlease invite your friends and share news about the Nordic Ball on your social media. \nNordic Ball Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/893320621855233?ref=newsfeed\nNordic Ball Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nordic-ball-tickets-499848840337\nNordic Ball History: https://ingebretsens-blog.com/the-nordic-ball-decades-of-dancing/
