The brainchild of Minnesota Book Award winner Louis Jenkins, the St. David's Day Open Reading honors the anniversary of the canonization of St. David, the patron saint of Wales.
The event is an designed to showcase the variety of voices in the Northland and kiss the worst of winter goodbye. The first half of the evening is devoted to original work, the second half to favorite poems by other authors. Readers must limit themselves to three minutes in order to give equal time to everyone. Readers are urged to sign up at the start of the event.
