Thanks for mentioning the reading! I though it went extremely well. I’m always blown away by the talent of Twin Cities artists, particularly local literary artists. And I’m always extremely honored to be able to read with them. If you made it, I hope you enjoyed it, too.

You did a wonderful job and I really enjoyed the reading!
