Good afternoon,

I wanted to alert this list to an upcoming event happening in Marquette this September. Michigan Humanities will be hosting a program featuring Nandi Comer, Michigan’s Poet Laureate, in conversation with Dr. Beverly Matherne, the Upper Peninsula’s Poet Laureate, about how poetry creates understanding and empathy between one another. This conversation will be moderated by Dr. Shawnrece Campbell, the Assistant Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion at Northern Michigan University.

This event takes place September 12, 2024, at the Northern Center at Northern Michigan University. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., the event begins at 7 p.m., with an afterglow reception and book signing to follow. Books will be sold by Snowbound Books.

If you're from a library in the Marquette area, we would appreciate spreading the word if you know of any patrons who might be interested. I've attached a poster with the general information included. Please reach out with any questions! I hope some of you will be able to attend. 

Thanks so much,

Estee
