The Southwest Minnesota Reading Council (SWMRC) is delighted to invite you to a special evening with award-winning Hmong American author Kao Kalia Yang on the campus of Martin Luther College on Monday, November 9, at 6:00 p.m.!
Join us for an inspiring evening celebrating the power of stories, the beauty of language, and the connections that reading and writing create. Kao Kalia Yang will share her thoughts on reading with compassion and writing with heart, read selections from her recent works, and answer questions from the audience. Whether you are thinking about teaching, staff ministry, or preaching, or you are a reader, a writer, or simply someone who loves a good story, this promises to be a memorable evening!
