Event: Book Launch with Linda LeGarde Grover

Zenith Bookstore is thrilled to host Linda LeGarde Grover for the launch of the new edition of her poetry collection The Sky Watched: Poems of Ojibwe Lives. Linda will be joined by writers from The Thunderbird Review, the literary and arts journal of Fond Du Lac Tribal and Community College.

The launch will take place at The Duluth Folk School / Dovetail Cafe, 1917 West Superior Street, Duluth. The event is free and open to the public. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test result in the past 72 hours, along with masking are required.

Reaching from the moment of creation to the cry of a newborn, The Sky Watched gives poetic voice to Ojibwe family life. In English and Ojibwe, those assembled here — voices of history, of memory and experience, of children and elders, Indian boarding school students, tribal storytellers, and the Manidoog, the unseen beings who surround our lives—come together to create a collective memoir in poetry as expansive and particular as the starry sky.

This world unfolds in the manner of traditional Ojibwe storytelling, shaped by the seasons and the stages of life, marking the significance of the number four in the Ojibwe worldview.
