About the artists:
Rosie Peters is a poet, writer, and performer whose work is rooted in healing, truth-telling, and the full complexity of Indigenous identity. She was born of Ihanktonwan and Hunkpati Dakota Oyate. She also comes from Irish and Dutch settlers and writes and performs from that specificity of walking in two worlds with precision and care.
Based in Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota, Rosie works across a range of formats: solo spoken word readings, live performance with composer-musician JG Everest, keynote speaking, and poetry workshops and residencies in schools, community organizations, tribal communities, and correctional facilities.
Rosie is the co-founder of the Arrow Broken Poetry Collective, which hosts a monthly open mic in Marine on St. Croix. Her work has been recognized by the Minnesota State Arts Board, the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council (MRAC), and the 2026 MN Arts Experiences pilot program.
Her chapbook album The Hummingbird's Dance (2022), recorded at Crazy Beast Studio with engineer Ben Durrant and produced and performed with JG Everest, brings her poetry and Everest's original composition together in a form that sits between record and book.
JG Everest is a composer and musician based in Minnesota, known for work that sits at the intersection of acoustic composition, ambient sound, and spoken-word collaboration. We began working together in 2017 and have since developed a shared language that makes our live shows feel composed rather than improvised — even when they're not.
His original scores were born from deep engagement with my words — not added after the fact. The music arrives from the same emotional territory the poems do, which is why the two don't fight for space on stage.
He brings acoustic guitar, electronic layering, and an instinct for silence that makes the poetry land harder. JG's musical presence is an integral component of this signature performance—submitting an inquiry through this form books us as a featured duo.
