DESCRIPTION

How does place impact prose? Here: Women Writing on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula explores that very question, drawing on the work of Upper Peninsula authors past and present to create a vibrant kaleidoscope of voices and experiences. Sharon Dilworth, Janet Loxley Lewis, Lorine Niedecker, Catie Rosemurgy, and thirty-one other authors important to the region appear in this exceptional and diverse volume.

“Etched against the backdrop of a wilderness both aggressive and haunting, the collected works in Here: Women Writing on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula flay the soul with their beauty and define Michigan’s Upper Peninsula as a place unique, where defeat and victory claim kinship through stories, and redemption is built upon endurance.”

-Sue Harrison, international best-selling author of Mother Earth Father Sky

From “Mad Dog Queen”:

“If she was in love with you, she never would have brought you home. She never would have let you see where she came from.”
