“Poetry is a record of the life around us and in us, and you'll get a better idea from poetry what it was like to be alive in 2011 than you will from the New York Times.”--Garrison Keillor

Join Garrison Keillor for an afternoon of poetry. We’ll recite some old favorites and discover some new ones. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll rhyme. And we’ll announce the winner of our first annual “Common Good Amateur Love Poem Contest."

The festivities begin at 1:00pm, Sunday, April 21, in the Weyerhaeuser Chapel (on the campus of Macalester College, 1600 Grand Ave, St Paul).
