Welcome to Cracked Walnut.

Cracked Walnut is one of the Twin Cities Chapters of the League of Minnesota Poets. We organize readings in traditional and non traditional spaces to procure a love for live literature, community and creativity. Cracked Walnut readings generally involve a bit of everything, including poetry, fiction, creative non fiction and spoken word. We feature artists in the Twin Cities at all publication/career levels and are constantly striving to include more talented writers and more diversity as we push the art of live literature.

Where: Next Chapter Booksellers on Zoom. Register at:
-Next Chapter Books Website
Who: Paula Cisewski, Jefferson Carter, Shagirah Shahid, V.V. Ganeshananthan, and Chia-Lun Chang

“The one positive thing about doing online readings is that I am able to feature writers from out of state,” says Stan Kusunoki, host/curator of the Bridges Reading Series. “We were bi-coastal in January and for May we are nearly bi-coastal again as we welcome Chia-Lun Chang from New York, and Jefferson Carter from Arizona. Add Bridges veterans Paula Cisewski and Sagirah Shahid, plus a rare fiction writer, V.V. Ganeshananthan, it should be a well-rounded evening.”

Since this is a Zoom reading, those who wish to view it should register with Next Chapter Booksellers to get the link sent to them.
