Judith Guest

Judith Guest, one of Minnesota’s most acclaimed authors, will read from Ice Walk and will discuss writing and publishing her works, which include Ordinary People (1976), Second Heaven (1982), Killing Time in St. Cloud (1988), and Errands (1997). Guest’s latest work was co-created with artists Michael Lizama and Jana Pullman, both of Minneapolis. Author and artists collaborated to create Ice Walk through the Minnesota Center for Book Arts (MCBA), whose mission is “to advance the book as a vital contemporary art form, preserving the traditional crafts of bookmaking and engaging people in learning, production, interpretive and collaborative experiences.” Thus, the final product, as much an original work of art as a book, was a nominee for the Fine Press category of the Minnesota Book Awards. The MCBA, established in 1983, is currently the most comprehensive independent book arts facility in the nation, serving “masters and novices, artists and students, teachers, designers, writers, families, and youth.” Arden Hills Library, 1941 W. County Rd. E-2; MCBA, (612) 215-2520
