Please come and share a day with us at our 6th Annual Midwest Literary Walk!

The Midwest Literary Walk will bring award-winning novelists, poets, and
musicians to downtown Chelsea. The free, all-day event begins at 11 am on
Saturday, April 26 and will host readings at various venues throughout
downtown.

Ann Arbor-based mystery novelist Harry Dolan (*The Last Dead Girl, Bad
Things Happen*) will kick off the event at 11 am at the Purple Rose
Theatre, joined by performance poet Garret Potter. At 12:10 pm, Michigan
Notable Book winners Matt Bell (*In the House Upon the Dirt Between the
Lake and the Woods*) and Mardi Jo Link (*Bootstrapper: From Broke to Badass
on a Northern Michigan Farm*) will read at the River Gallery.

During a lunch break, attendees are encouraged to explore downtown Chelsea
and its great selection of restaurants. Immediately following lunch, we
welcome local writers to share their work at the Community Open Mic at 2 pm
at the River Gallery. Readers are given five minutes and can sign up for a
time slot at the first two venues of the Walk.

At 3:10 pm, poets Diane Seuss (*Wolf Lake, White Gown Blown Open*) and
American Sign Language interpreter/slam poet Mona Jean Cedar will be
featured at the Chelsea District Library. Closing out the day at 4:20 pm
are National Book Award finalist Bonnie Jo Campbell (*Once Upon a
River*, *American
Salvage) *and Detroit poet ML Liebler with the Coyote Monk Poetry Band at
the Chelsea Alehouse.

The Midwest Literary Walk is a joint venture of the Chelsea District
Library, the River Gallery, and Chelsea Writers' Workshop, with support
from the Friends of the Chelsea District Library and Nicola's Books. The
event is also supported by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural
Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts. The featured authors'
books will be available for purchase courtesy of Nicola's Books at our
venues throughout the day.
