Join us as we welcome, Annette Gagliardi, Poet Laureate of the League of Minnesota Poets. She will be at Zenith Bookstore on Saturday, May 23rd 1-3PM signing her book, Benevolence. Stop in and meet her and get a signed copy of her book for yourself and a friend!
Benevolence is a gorgeous poetry collection that examines the uncertainties, joys, and muddled middle ground of being human in our fraught world. Gagliardi’s poems flourish as they address the temporary nature of human existence and the unending beauty of the natural world. She deftly hones in on emotions and senses, questioning both the tangible and intangible aspects of living with an intricate, expert hand. ~ Olivia Worcester, Minnesota Women’s Press
