Please join us for a reading by Minneapolis poets Karen Sandberg and Pat Barone. Karen will be reading from her new book of poetry, Dreams of the Floating House. She writes poems of growing up beside Lake Superior and recovering from too many deaths.

From Karen Herseth Wee, author of The Book of Hearts:

Dreams of the Floating House is a waltz in summer time, holding the breath of the world. It invites one to join the poet's life-journey of search, becoming, and overcoming. "Days float past like clouds," days (and poems) of water, wind, darkness, loss, trees, and butterflies. The sun always comes out.

Karen Sandberg lives and writes in Richfield, Mn. This book contains her brief account of one person’s journey through times of joy, sorrow and amazement. She studied at The Loft in Minneapolis, attended Northwoods Writers Conference in Bemidji, Mn twice, and since 1995, been a member of Northfield Women Poets. Karen has published in Midwest Quarterly, Clackamas Literary Review, Grey Sparrow, Vita Brevis, Main Street Rag and others.
