Sheila Packa, a former Duluth poet laureate, reads two poems, "The North Star," and "Vestiges," that are part of her new work, The Vermilion Trail. It was combined with the music of cellist Kathy McTavish to become Night Train / Red Dust, which was recently performed at The Fringe Festival in the Twin Cities.
