Bücher der Reihe Made in Michigan Writers Series

An ecopoet whose writing shows her advocacy for natural resources, in this collection Alison Swan calls the reader to witness, appreciate, and sustain this world before it becomes too late. These poems were written out of an impulse to track down wisdom in the open air, outside of the noisy world of cars and commerce.

A collection of poetry by award-winning Ojibwe author Lois Beardslee. Much of the book centres around Native people of the Great Lakes but it has a universal relevance to modern indigenous people worldwide.

Beautifully rendered and rippling with family dysfunction, secrets, deaths, drunks, and old resentments, Shonda Buchanan's memoir is an inspiring story that explores her family's legacy of being African Americans with American Indian roots and how they dealt with not just society's ostracization but the consequences of this dual inheritance.

Presents new creative nonfiction by some of Michigan's most well-known and highly acclaimed authors. A celebration of the elements, this collection is both the storm and the shelter. The essays approach Michigan at the atomic level. This is a place where weather patterns and ecology matter.
