Author and poet Michael Kiesow Moore will give a reading on his experiences during the AIDS Crisis. The Minnesota State Arts Board funded Michael to develop a manuscript about his experiences called “Not My First Pandemic.” Michael is also gathering stories about the experiences of living through both AIDS and the Covid pandemics. Michael will also read from his poetry collections.

The reading will take place in the McGinnis Room, which is in the lower level of the Briggs Library at University of Minnesota-Morris, 600 E. 4th St., Morris.
