Verse Like Water presents Juan Felipe Herrera, who was appointed U.S. Poet Laureate by the Library of Congress for two terms. A top Chicano poet with international recognition, Juan Felipe and his poetry is concerned with many issues of contemporary life, notably the lived experiences of immigrants in the southwestern United States. Brilliant, as well as hilarious, Juan Felipe is also a notable author of books for children, who he loves beyond any singing of it. This is his second visit to CLC and the Brainerd Lakes Region, and he will also read that morning for Long Prairie-Gray Eagle.

Amanda Grace & Megan Lenius In Concert

Amanda Grace
Amanda is a Minnesota native and has released music drifting between folk, alt- pop/rock and Americana. With roots as a pianist her writing is thematically varied with an emphasis on melody; with ballads wrapped in warm vocals. In 2016 she received a Front Of The Line Pass from The Voice and her seventh album, “Please Dear Sun,” was nominated for Blues & Roots Radio Album Of The Year.  Amanda just released her eighth album called Give Me Away. The songs reflect questions Amanda asks herself regarding the status of her own thoughts and heart, and through her music hopes to convey that the giving of oneself, reinforces goodness in the lives of others.
