ELWS Students Enjoy “Scribes and Vibes”

The Department of English, Linguistics, and Writing Studies was proud to cosponsor “Scribes and Vibes.”  The event, held at the Zeitgeist Center in downtown Duluth, celebrated the world of local and regional small-press publishing.

The event, planned and executed by local poet Jess Morgan, was covered, too, in the Duluth News Tribune.  

 

ELWS student Kaelyn Hvidsten offered their reflections on the event:

 

The Scribes and Vibes fest was a welcome moment of vibrant life, laughter, and beautiful art. I had an absolute blast getting to connect with and learn from fellow writers and artists -- it was such a joy to discover this corner of the Duluth community! The passion, ambition, and authenticity of each artist truly shined at every table I visited. I had the privilege of establishing relationships with countless incredible and talented souls, and I am so thankful for the opportunities they presented; I’m looking forward to becoming more involved with zine making and the Duluth chapter of the League of Minnesota Poets!
