Saint Paul Almanac Volume 13: A Path to Each Other

St Paul Almanac: A Path to Each Other

This collection of voices weaves humor, love, the gut-punch of loss, the ordinary and extraordinary with mamas and daddies, buses and ESL classes, scooters and rescue dogs, and the vagaries of Minnesota weather. It is provocative and compassionate in its portrayals of inter-generational experiences of adversity and success, written, as David Mura suggests in his quote that appears in the book, "from strength not weakness." In these uncertain and stressful times, these writers lead us across the diverse landscapes and cultures of St. Paul with their lyrical words and stunning imagery to help us find what we need most--a path to each other made by walking together with empathy and understanding.

-Gwen Westerman, Minnesota poet laureate
