Notes and References

From Garrison Keillor: I am excited to announce that I’m doing my first poetry reading in decades on Saturday, January 20, at 7:30 p.m. at the Mabel Tainter theater in Menomonie, Wisconsin. All proceeds go to TILT, a charitable fund supporting indigent students in Uganda and their self-employment projects and also the lovely historic Mabel Tainter. This reading takes me back to 1970 when I did a reading at the Minneapolis Public Library’s planetarium with Peter Schjeldahl for Walker Art Center. Suzanne Weil produced it and she produced the first Prairie Home Companion shows four years later. With PHC, I got off poetry and did improvised monologues, so this is a return to my roots. And all for a good cause. A happy occasion.
