Twin Cities' librettist Ann Millikan, whose work has been performed around the world, is represented by a video of scenes from her opera “Swede Hollow.”

A launch reading by Maria Damon and other Twin Cities artists in the journal will take place at The Book House in Dinkytown at 7:30 on Tuesday, October 30.

Thank you Maria Damon, Jonathan Brannen, Mark Heuring, Mary Kasimor, Terrence Folz, and composer Ann Millikan. It was a wonderful evening.
