Summary: BOR-RING!
Comment: This book is not at all what I expected or I had hoped for. Most of the poetry is free verse and idiomatic with little narrative and almost no backdrop or landscape verse. Although written by native Michigan authors, some of the stories have nothing at all to do with Michigan. One in particular is about a diving experience in the gulf of Mexico off Florida. This story is badly written, unbelievable, and reads like a cheeesey ghost story told at a summer camp.

I was born in Michigan and raised in California. I could write volumes of prose and poetry about the Golden State. I know next to nothing about the Wolverine State (Michigan). I was hoping this book and others like it would give me a taste of what I missed. After reading this book for a while, I can honestly say I have not missed much. (And I thought Delaware was boring!)

Summary: What a gift from these finest new Michigan authors!
Comment: This book (Vol. 1) was one that I enjoyed thoroughly. It's been a long time since I've been able to say that. I even took the book to my mother's home in Virginia where she read the book and enjoyed it tremendously. It's a must-read book for all of those interested in reading the wonderful works of talented authors from the "Winter Wonderland"! Thanks to MackinacJane's Publishing Company for making this wonderful book available to all. Happy reading!

Summary: Great Book. Authentic fresh voices from midwestern hearts.
Comment: I loved this anthology. It rekindles one's faith in the small american press house. Mike Nagrant's Poem Intimacy was one of my favorites.
