        I have read two of Kristen's poems. From this, and the reviews I have read; Oh how I wish this event was streamed or otherwise made available. It's a bit too far from Oslo...

        I was simply spellbound BOTH times I've heard Kristen Eliason read. I wouldn't miss this third opportunity for anything. Her poetry enraptures.

        When Kristen Eliason reads, she convinces any doubters that poetry. prose, and "prosetry" (as she has called it) are alive and well in South Bend, IN. Thanks, Utah, for lending her to us.

        I am adding a review because I neglected to do that the last time. I am certain that this will be an experience worth the trek through slush and snow.

        Kristen poetry is haunting. I liked what I heard of her at Lula's last year, and will be back for more.

        South Bend DOES have culture! Go listen to this delightful young lady read her work at Hammes this February. She rocks. I know, because I wandered into Lula's for an espresso and stayed for her reading last year and LOVED it. She's pretty elegant. Collapse

        I choose to respectfully disagree with J. Brooks (?) above. Kristen is perhaps one of the most prolific and successful poets to have been part of the Notre Dame writing program. Her poetry - as well as her prose - is all the more appealing because it comes from a fount of experience and empathy. Kristen has an excellent stage presence as well that only adds to the experience of the event. This is one woman to keep an eye on. Collapse

        I had the pleasure to hear Kristen Eliason read at Lula's coffee shop one year ago. Simply put, she is a tremendous reader. She completely energized the crowd and left us all hungry for more. Her often funny, sometimes bizarre, always compelling poetry about life in a foreign culture completely won me over. I can't praise her highly enough. Collapse

        Lucky South Bend, to get to hear Kristin Eliason a third time. I was fortunate enough to be present at both of her Lula's readings and plan to brave winter roads to attend this one. A ninety-minute drive is a small price to pay to hear what's been happening lately in the work of someone who can explore Japan, Utah, heartbreak and beauty with equal courage and wit. Collapse
