C-Span2 coming to Duluth!

The Book TV Bus will be parking itself (MTV style) in front of Northern Lights Books and Gifts this upcoming Saturday, 7/29 from 11am-2pm. That means that we'll have three hours in which to be filmed appreciating literature to, perchance, appear in the background a severely edited spot on The Deuce of CSpan.
I've read a little bit about other stops the BookTV Bus has made, and they've been a little underwhelming for the authors. But we do have the chance to support the authors, editors and poets of our region by stopping by the bookstore. Northern Lights Events for the BookTV Bus
I'm particularly looking forward to seeing Louis Jenkins, as I've just spent some time rereading some of his poems and one of his translations of another poet.
Please stop by if you're going to be in the Canal Park Area. It'll be nice to have some Duluthians who love literature in the background rather than just befuddled tourists wondering where the Bridge is.

jmcc, I can't get the link to work. I love Northern Lights & Louis Jenkins, who was one of my high school teachers. I'll try to make it down there.


Link here.


I'd go if a bunch of us could dress up like Morlocks.

Or maybe like we just found hip-hop c. 1982...


But the dead poet recitation takes place BEFORE the bus arrives....


Sorry about the link troubles.

It's an entire day of events loosely centered around a giant bookTV bus. I hope CSpan2 talks to the dead poet resuscitator as well as the many live poets that will be coming and going. As far as dressing up, I'll be sporting a T-Shirt for a little LitMag out of Ohio that I used to help edit. But all Morlocks and Old Schoolers are welcome.


Thanks to everyone and anyone who stopped by. It seemed as though the authors had a good time and there was lots of good conversation.

It was hard to not eavesdrop when the poets got into a huddle.
