D. E. (Doug) Green of the Augsburg English Department is participating in several literary events this winter and spring.
• On Friday, 26 January, he’ll be reading with others at the Poken Sword Literary Salon, which takes place at the gallery 2001 A Space (2001 5th St NE, Minneapolis) between 7 and 8:30. The topic is Torment, a subject in which he is expert.
• At 2pm, Saturday, 27 January, Green will be reading with others in the Kickoff of the 2018 Sidewalk Poetry Contest in the Atrium at the Northfield Public Library. He will read his past winning sidewalk poems, which can be found on the streets of Northfield, and other poems.
• On Sunday, 18 February (time and place, TBA), Green will read at the Book Launch for the Martin Lake Journal 2017, an annual collection of poetry. One of his two poems in the volume, “Gratitude,” received the MLJ 2017 Bookend Prize.
• Between 1 and 2pm, Saturday, 3 March, Green will be one of three featured readers at Poet Ted King’s Tributary Reading Series at the Lake Coffee House (3223 E Lake St, Minneapolis). Come early: King draws a crowd.
• And at 7:30 pm, Tuesday, 19 June, at the University Club on Summit Avenue overlooking downtown St. Paul, Prof. Green will read along with poet Eric Tu at Carol Connolly’s Readings by Writers Series. Carol Connolly is the poet laureate of St. Paul and the series is organized by writers Danny Klecko and Dara Syrkin at her behest. The venue is to die for. And because it’s in June, this is a rare chance to see Prof. Green perform in something other than his customary black turtleneck.

Please join us in celebrating his time here with a party today – Tuesday, January 23rd – from 2:00-3:30 p.m. in Marshall Room, Christensen Center. Dennis’ contributions to Augsburg will be felt for many years if not decades. His last major responsibility was as Augsburg’s project manager for the Hagfors Center construction project.

With the transformational Hagfors Center now complete, Dennis can step away into a retirement of hunting and fishing with his sons and grandchildren, traveling with his wife, and developing his new business venture Abrasive Art, LLC.

Dennis Stuckey, Director of Facilities Management, is retiring after 10 years of dedicated services at Augsburg University. Please join us in celebrating his time here with a party on Tuesday, January 23rd from 2:00-3:30 p.m. in Marshall Room, Christensen Center. Dennis’ contributions to Augsburg will be felt for many years if not decades. His last major responsibility was as Augsburg’s project manager for the Hagfors Center construction project. What an amazing capstone to his career! I am also reminded of the beautiful art glass that Dennis made in tribute to Leland Sateren which hangs in the foyer of Sateren Auditorium. With the transformational Hagfors Center now complete, Dennis can step away into a retirement of hunting and fishing with his sons and grandchildren, traveling with his wife, and developing his new business venture Abrasive Art, LLC. Please note that a special presentation will occur at 2:15. Come by and say a fond farewell to Dennis and wish him much happiness and health!
