Join us for a poetry reading, Q & A, and Haiku workshop with 2024 Moonbeam Award Silver Medalist Sandra Hisakuni. She will be reading from her illustrated work of haiku, and guiding attendees in learning the art form. Writing materials will be complimentary!

The Northland Beckons guides readers through a day in the beautiful Boundary Waters of Minnesota and Canada, meeting wildlife along the way. For those who are familiar with the Northlands canoe country, it is a reminder to come home to our shared wilderness.
