The Midwest Literary Walk is an annual literary event in downtown Chelsea in April aimed at highlighting the power of literature and poetry in everyday life. This year's authors include Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Tyehimba Jess, acclaimed musician and author Kristin Hersh, and New York Times best-selling author Jamie Ford. The readings are intimate, giving attendees a chance to interact with the authors. Books will be available for purchase and signing. Midwest Literary Walk is hosted by Chelsea District Library.
