Bemidji Public Library recently issued the following announcement.
The Bemidji Public Library is pleased to welcome Minnesota Book Award nominee Moheb Soliman and hybrid writer Kathryn Savage to the Bemidji Public Library Saturday, April 23, at three p.m, 509 America Ave, Bemidji. Join us to listen to Moheb read from his debut collection HOMES while Kathryn shares lyric essays from her forthcoming debut book, Groundglass. They will also discuss their overlaps and divergences in exploring issues of place, family and heritage, and approaches to environmental and ecopoetic writing. Free to the public and all are welcome!
Moheb Soliman is an interdisciplinary poet from Egypt and the Midwest who has presented writing, performance, installation, and video work in the US and Canada with support from the Banff Centre, Pillsbury House, the Joyce Foundation, and Tulsa Artist Fellowship. His book Homes traces the coast of the Great Lakes from Lake Superior to Ontario through poems that explore the natural world, the experience of belonging, and the formation of identity along borders.
Kathryn Savage is a hybrid writer whose writing has appeared in American Short Fiction, The Guardian, Poets & Writers, Ploughshares, Village Voice, and The Best Small Fictions of 2015. Her collection of lyric essays, Groundglass takes shape atop the most polluted aquifer in Minnesota, beside trains that haul petroleum fracked and pushed east from the Bakken Shale Formation.
The Bemidji Public Library is committed to providing the community with informational resources to enrich their lives. The library is open from 9/7 Monday through Thursday and 9/5 Friday and Saturday and provides a wide range of services to its patrons including WIFI, fax, printing, copying and our legal kiosk. This program, and many others, is made possible through the Minnesota Legacy Amendment that supports the arts, culture, and heritage of Minnesota.
