Join us on Wednesday, April 13, at 1pm for the last Athenaeum of the Spring 2011 semester, "A History of Murder and Exile in a Poetry Format" presented by Nancy Kay Peterson
Nancy Kay Peterson will read her poetry as well as discuss the process of creating a poetry chapbook that tells a historical narrative. Nancy Kay Peterson's chapbook, published by Finishing Line Press, tells the story of her great-great uncle Arne Kulterstad (1825-1902) through the voices of different characters. He was convicted of murder in Valdres, Norway and sentenced to death. An editorial campaign by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson saved his life. He was imprisoned, eventually pardoned and exiled to America to settle near relatives in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin. Ms. Peterson will describe how she discovered the story, conducted the research and created the chapbook.
The Athenaeum is located on the second floor of the WSU Library, bluff side. The event is free and open to the public. For additional information about the Athenaeum, please visit the following: http://www.winona.edu/library/athenaeum/
