Good news…The May 9, Known By Heart poetry performance will be ASL interpreted by  Julie Olson Rand (NIC) and Jenn Welna (NIC).

One of the many reasons I’m glad that the Minnesota State Arts Board funded Known By Heart with a 2011 Artist Initiative Grant is that it provided funds for ASL interpretation.

Thanks also to Jon Skaalen (of  VSA Minnesota), Zaraawar Mistry and poet and former ASL interpreter Morgan Grayce Willow for their help and suggestions about locating and working with interpreters.
