Project Overview

A 5 to 10-minute weekly feature on KUMD's Northland Morning that celebrates the other languages that make up the rich cultural landscape of our Northland through the medium that communicates it best: poetry. We'll invite guests (all Minnesota residents) to share a poem in their native language and find out what it is about the poem or the poet that speaks to them. A translation will also be shared along with details about the author/source of the poem and what inspired the reader to share it.
