punch line? Youāll have to come to āQUITTING TIME at a Place of Endless Timeā,
Saturday September 18 at 4 pm at the historic Pioneers and Soldiers Cemetery,
East Lake Street and Cedar Ave in Minneapolis.
Patrick Cabello Hanselās 2nd book of poetry āQuitting Timeā is an extended

into a German-speaking home in rural North Dakota, through the Great

Paulās Lutheran Church in the Phillips neighborhood of Minneapolis. He is the
author of the poetry collection āThe Devouring Landā and his work has been
published in over 70 journals. Twice nominated for a Pushcart Prize, he has
received awards from the Loft Literary Center and the MN State Arts Board.
At the event, Patrick will read with prize-winning poets Tim Nolan and Richard
Terrill. Live music with Larry McDonough on keyboards and Richard on sax.
Tim Nolan is a lawyer and the author of The Field (New Rivers Press, 2016),
And Then (New Rivers Press, 2012) and The Sound of It (New Rivers Press, 2008).
