ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Anne-Marie Erickson was born in the western Minnesota prairie town of Benson, the granddaughter of Norwegian immigrants. She attended Augsburg College in Minneapolis, where she earned a B.A. in American Studies. Following a move to northern Minnesota, she received an M.A. in English from Bemidji State University. For many years, she was a freelance writer. Her journalism, poetry, essays, and book reviews have appeared in regional publications; this is her first book. She taught English at Itasca Community College in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, and Mangold Institute in Madrid, Spain. She has received support from the Minnesota State Arts Board, as well as the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council. She currently writes, reads, gardens, and enjoys the lakes, walking paths, music, and visual arts available in Grand Rapids.
ABOUT THE BOOK
“In the Evening, We’ll Dance is a deeply enriching read. These lyrical essays flow seamlessly into a whole, providing a prism-like reflection on what it means to love, to truly and deeply love, through the journey of dementia. These stories are continually drawn to the light, often through hard-earned dark passages. There is a page-turning suspense here, as this mythic and even mystical journey unfolds, as Erickson weaves her own and her husband’s insights with gleaned wisdom from fairy tales, literature, medical experts, philosophers, spiritual traditions, poetry and song. Readers will be invited to deepen their own currents of meaningful love, whether living with dementia or any other of life’s mysteries.”
