If you missed Tuesday’s live tribute to the late essayist and poet Bill Holm, you can catch Minnesota Public Radio’s broadcast of "Friends of Bill Holm" on Saturday and Sunday (April 18-19).
The tribute, which took place at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, included poet and translator Robert Bly; Holm’s former publisher, Emilie Buchwald; poets Phebe Hanson and Barton Sutter; soprano Maria Jette; writer Jim Lenfestey and Gustavus Adolphus College emeritus professor John Calvin Rezmerski.
Holm, a retired English professor at Southwest Minnesota State University, died Feb. 25. He was a 1965 alumnus of Gustavus and a McKnight Distinguished Artist. His published works included "Windows of Brimnes -- An American in Iceland," "The Heart Can Be Filled Anywhere on Earth," "The Dead Get By with Anything," "Coming Home Crazy: An Alphabet of China Essays," and "Boxelder Bug Variations: A Meditation on an Idea in Language and Music."
MPR will broadcast the tribute at 7 p.m. Saturday on its classical music stations (99.5 FM in the Twin Cities area). It also will be aired at 6 p.m. Sunday on MPR's news stations (91.1 FM in the Twin Cities area).
