Talk of the Stacks: A Celebration of the Literary Twin Cities January 26, 2010

Four literary organizations in the Twin Cities are celebrating significant anniversaries this year: Coffee House Press (25 years), Graywolf Press (35 years), The Loft Literary Center (35 years), and Milkweed Editions (30 years). In this special edition of Talk of the Stacks moderated by MPR's Marianne Combs, executive directors from the four organizations will discuss why so many nationally-recognized literary organizations have thrived here, tell tales of the literary life, and share their vision of what readers and writers can expect in the days ahead.

Talk of the Stacks is a reading series exploring contemporary literature and culture held at the Central Library in downtown Minneapolis (Pohlad Hall, 300 Nicollet Mall). Talk of the Stacks is free with open seating. Programs begin at 7 PM. Doors open at 6:15 PM. Presented by the Library Foundation of Hennepin County.

Premier sponsor: The Private Client Reserve at U.S. Bank.

Additional support provided by Marquette Hotel, Secrets of the City and Magers and Quinn Booksellers.
