An Evening with Wisconsin Poet Laureate Dasha Kelly Hamilton

The Caramel Crisp Bookstore is honored to be hosting Wisconsin Poet Laureate Dasha Kelly Hamilton, on Thursday, May 8th, as she showcases her exciting statewide poetry project, “A Line Meant”!
This unique workshop event will be an evening of curation, creation and poetic conversation with Dasha and other Wisconsin poets.
“A Line Meant” is an anthology of poetry from across Wisconsin, from established poets to farmers, retirees, inmates and more. Starting with a single line of existing poetry, participants not only crafted their own unique works, but also shared their poems and insights as a form of connective tissue with one another. Like a tree from many roots, “A Line Meant” threads together both the professional and the hobbyist poet, growing new, powerful art from the margins between.
Those who attend this amazing event can look forward to a micro writing workshop, a brief talk from Dasha about the “A Line Meant” project and conversations with and readings by anthology contributors. Attendees can purchase copies of this inaugural edition of the collection. They will also have the opportunity to create writings of their own to upload for follow-up editions of the anthology.
This event is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet and talk with Wisconsin poets and to share your own work with them. The folks at the Caramel Crisp Bookstore can’t wait to be a part of this exciting celebration of the arts in Wisconsin!
There is no cost to attend this event, but interested people are encouraged to indicate their planned attendance on the “A Line Meant” facebook event page so that the Caramel Crisp Bookstore staff can prepare.
Get out of the house and into a good book, at a Caramel Crisp Bookstore event!

The Other Mozart
2025-05-08 19:00 - 20:30 | Kohler Memorial Theater, 260 School St, Kohler, 53044, United States
See the Drama Desk-nominated performance of The Other Mozart, a theatrical performance that the New York Times calls “Strikingly beautiful”. The Other Mozart tells the true, forgotten story of Nannerl Mozart, the sister of Amadeus – a prodigy who performed throughout Europe with her brother to equal acclaim, but her work and her story faded away.
The LA Times says, “With an emotional precision that captures and rewards attention throughout, [The Other Mozart] rescues Nannerl’s genius from the historical shadow of her brother’s. [The] historical portrait of this gifted woman ahead of her time implores us to consider whether things are different now, but the only honest answer is: not different enough.”
