Singer-songwriter Katie Dahl '05 and poets Susan Jaret McKinstry P'14 (with her new book Tumblehome) and Leslie Schultz (with her new book Geranium Lake: Poems on Art and Art-Making) will share songs and poems that celebrate place, memory, and the heartening power of the arts in all of our lives.
Susan Jaret McKinstry has published poems in Plain Songs I & II, Crosswinds, Willows Wept, Red Wing Poet Artist Collaboration, and The Journal of General Internal Medicine. A professor of 19th century British literature, theory, and creative writing at Carleton, she yearns for the sea, and has been lucky to teach in Ireland, Scotland, Norway, London, Florence, and Moscow.
Clear-eyed and tough-minded, songwriter/playwright Katie Dahl '05 is known for her smart songs, wry wit, and wise spirit. A small-town celebrity on the Wisconsin peninsula where her family has lived for 175 years, Katie is also an internationally touring, radio-charting artist who “delivers razor-sharp lyrics with a hearty, soulful voice” (American Songwriter). In live shows that are both courageously honest and devilishly funny, Katie dives deep into questions of land and love, family and body image, grief and joy. “In unsettled times,” says Peter Mulvey, “Katie Dahl brings us a grounded spirit.”
