Birchbark Books welcomes Freya Manfred for a reading from her seventh full-length collection of poems, Loon in Late November Water(Red Dragonfly Press). Reception and signing to follow the reading.

“Freya Manfred’s visionary poems range far and deep. I can’t remember when I have read truer or more urgent poetry. She shares Whitman’s American grandness of spirit, but she is a clear-sighted woman of a later age in our national experiment.”—Connie Wanek, author of Rival Gardens.
