Tomorrow's Heart River Writers' Circle book discussion

Tomorrow’s Heart River Writers' Circle book discussion of the book Dakota: A Spiritual Geography will commence at noon in the Roosevelt Room on the lower level of Stoxen Library (overflow location will be the Library Classroom on the same level). Also, come early if you’d like to purchase a sandwich and beverage at the coffee bar. The discussion begins at noon. Hope to see you there!

Heart River Writers’ Circle Book Discussion Friday, March 23

Dr. Bruce MacDuffie, Dickinson State University adjunct instructor of religion, will lead a Heart River Writers’ Circle follow-up discussion on Kathleen Norris’ book “Dakota: A Spiritual Geography” on March 23 from noon-1 p.m. in the Roosevelt Room at Stoxen Library.

Norris appeared at DSU in early March as part of “Women’s Voices” programming and read from her best-selling non-fiction book “Dakota: A Spiritual Geography.” Honored as a New York Times “Notable Book of the Year” and selected by Library Journal as one of the best books of the year, Dakota offers a timeless tribute to a place in the American landscape that is at once desolate and sublime, harsh and forgiving, steeped in history and myth.

It is not necessary to have read the book in order to attend. The discussion is sponsored by the DSU Department of Language and Literature and Stoxen Library, and is free and open to the public.
