Christopher Kolon, the Poet Laureate of Kenosha, wanted to create a project that would “celebrate the relationship between the people of Wisconsin (Kenosha County in particular) and Lake Michigan,” and so The Lake Is Mother To Us All was born.
A collection of poems by 36 local writers, the poems will be appearing in storefronts in Kenosha this summer. In addition, they were compiled into a chapbook. I think this might be the first time that I’ve appeared in a book that you can purchase on Amazon! It’s $10, and you can buy it here.
But you don’t need to purchase the book (although I have a copy – it’s really nice!). The poems are also available to read on the project’s website so that they’re available to everyone. So check them out here!
