Wabasha Public Library

I will be reading from my new book, Dancing with the Gods:  Reflections on Life and Art, at the Wabasha Public Library on Tuesday, Dec. 4th at 10:30 a.m.  Dancing with the Gods is a series of thoughts and reflections on the inner life of the artist, written for anyone who practices an art form or wants to understand some of the often unseen joys and challenges of the creative life.  I might also read one of my favorite pieces from my recently published book, Native Echoes:  Listening to the Spirit of the Land.   I encourage you to show up.  Kent’s visit is co-sponsored by River Junction Arts Council and Friends of the Wabasha Public Library.  This event is free and open to the public.  Refreshments will be served. 

Join in the discussion of   The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.  This book tells the story of Henrietta – a poor black tobacco farmer whose cells were taken without her knowledge in 1951 and these cells became known to scientists as HeLa.  
Book Discussion will take place at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 14th at the Library.  The movie by the same title will be shown at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 15th in the children’s library.  Both events are free and open to the public.

Starting this Friday, November 9th, an art exhibition by local artist, Kate Perry, will be on display at the Library.  An Opening Night reception will take place from 5 – 7 p.m. on Friday night.  The art exhibition is co-sponsored by River Junction Arts Council and the Friends of the Library.  Items featuring Ms. Perry’s artwork will be for sale in the lobby.  Profits will benefit the Friends of the Library.
