NISSWA — Songwriter, writer and performer Elisa Korenne will be the guest speaker at the April 21 Nisswa Women's Club meeting at Roundhouse Brewery in Nisswa.
Her topic is “Madams, Matrons and Madwomen: Extraordinary Historical Women in the Upper Midwest.”
Korenne went from being a Yale graduate running an international nonprofit in Brooklyn to a small town Minnesota resident living in New York Mills “where everybody knows your name.”
Her memoir, "Hundred Miles to Nowhere: An Unlikely Love Story," tells her story of finding love in the unexpected place of New York Mills where she spent a month as artist in residence.
She now appears throughout the Midwest sharing stories and music of unusual people and events of the Upper Midwest.
