Leaving the Winter Daze                                                                  Ellie Schoenfeld

Poet Ellie Schoenfeld will share poems related to melting ice, rivers running wild, and general ideas of reckless abandon like putting the snow shovels away for the season, even though it is early April.

Ellie Schoenfeld is a prolific poet and was Duluth’s poet laureate from 2016- 2018. One reviewer described Ellie as a cross between Amy Sedaris and John Donne with the wry, self-deprecating humor and like-minded intimate spirituality that is undogmatic, unorganized unheirarchical, yet fundamental and persistent, tied to human yearning. Another reviewer stated, “Ellie has a unique rhythm and wit. Once again, we celebrate National Poetry Month at MUUC with the gift of a poet’s words.
