2019 Moving Words: Writers Across Minnesota
Coordinated by the Minnesota Book Awards, this statewide tour of Minnesota Book Award winners featured four authors who talked briefly about their work before joining a moderated question and answer session. Panelists included Nicole Helget, Wing Young Huie, David LaRochelle, and Sun Yung Shin. Writers and readers explored various themes together: the impact of literature in their lives, their connection as fellow Minnesotans, and the lens through which they read. Books were available for sale and authors available for signing.
