Notable Book Club – Superior Voyage with Marty Achatz\, Milton J. Bates\, Lisa Fosmo\, and Beverly Matherne DESCRIPTION:UP Notable Book Club: The Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled author events with winners of the UP Notable Book List. The 31st event is with three of the members of the Marquette Poets Circle:  Marty Achatz\, Milton J. Bates\, Lisa Fosmo\, and Beverly Matherne as they talk about Superior Voyage\, the group’s second anthology.The circle was formed in 2012 by Matt Maki\, Claudia Drosen\, and Janeen Pergrin Rastall to celebrate poetry and guide each member in finding his or her inner poet. In a true spirit of community\, the circle has held workshops\, Open Mic nights\, and readings for more than a decade.  Superior Voyage includes the work of no less than forty-two poets with each contributor fielding two to six entries. \nWhen: October 12th\, 2023 at 7 pm Eastern / 6 pm Central\nWhere: on the Zoom platform — please contact Evelyn Gathu in advance by egathu@crystalfallslibrary.org\, or by phone at (906) 875-3344. We recommend you borrow a copy of these books from your local library or purchase from your local bookseller in advance to get the most out of these events.  \n(Left to Right:  Marty Achatz\, Milton J. Bates\, Lisa Fosmo\, and Beverly Matherne) \nMARTY ACHATZ lives in Ishpeming\, Michigan\, with his wife and children.  He has taught for NMU’s English Department since 1998.  He holds a Master’s Degree in Fiction and an MFA in Poetry.  His work has appeared in many journals\, anthologies\, the book-length collection The Mysteries of the Rosary\, and two spoken word albums\, Slow Dancing with Bigfoot and Christmas with Bigfoot.  Marty served two consecutive terms as U.P. Poet Laureate and is currently President of the U.P. Poet Laureate Foundation.  Marty is also the Adult Programming Coordinator for Peter White Public Library. \nMILTON J. BATES is the author of books about the poet Wallace Stevens\, the Vietnam War and the Bark River watershed in Wisconsin. His poetry includes the collection Stand Still in the Light (2019) and two chapbooks\, Always on Fire (2016) and As They Were (2018). He lives with his wife\, Puck\, in Marquette\, Michigan. \nLISA FOSMO is an Upper Peninsula Michigan poet\, from Escanaba. She has been published in various regional journals and anthologies of note. She currently serves as a judge for the National Poetry contests of the NSFPS\, and is the newly elected Vice President of the U.P. Poet Laureate Foundation. She is the author of a full-length book of poetry Mercy is a Bright Darkness\,\, Golden Dragonfly Press (2023). \nBEVERLY MATHERNE\, 2023 and 2024 U.P. Poet Laureate\, is professor emerita of English at Northern Michigan University and the author of seven bilingual books of poetry; her latest\, Love Potions\, Teas\, Incantations. Beverly served in NMU’s Department of English as director of the Master of Fine Arts program in creative writing\, director of the department’s visiting writing series\, and poetry editor of Passages North literary magazine. Widely published\, she has received seven first-place prizes\, including the Hackney Literary Award for Poetry\, and four Pushcart nominations.  Widely traveled\, she has done over 360 readings across the U.S.\, Canada\, and France―and in Wales\, Belgium\, Germany\, and Spain. \n“…you might ask yourself\, ‘But what is U.P. poetry?’. You wouldn’t be wrong to expect many of the typical themes to revolve around the majesty of Mother Superior\, the fleeting glories of springtime\, and the striking characteristics of the abundant wildlife of the region. You’ll also find traditional poetry topics including the celebration of love\, laments of loss\, and meditations on the universal human conditions. However\, anything and everything is fair game for poetry including dinosaurs\, Bigfoot\, Marilyn Monroe\, and current events like the war in Ukraine\, and the continuing scars from covid-19. Sprinkled amongst the poems are also a number of short story vignettes which I found haunting and evocative like musical tone poems.\n“In my opinion\, poetry is most effective when it can provoke a reaction with a minim of words. Superior Voyage succeeds very well in that metric and should be imbibed slowly\, like a fine draught of whisky. Whether your tastes lean toward celebration of the natural world\, a humorous or ironic look at human foibles\, or a deeper glimpse into a land that has formed its people as hard as the people have tried to form the land\, there’s an enjoyable read for you in this Superior Voyage.”   — Victor R. Volkman\, Marquette Monthly.  \nYou may also wish to read Tyler R. Tichelaar’s complete review at U.P. Book Review \nMore information about the U.P. Notable Book list\, U.P.

Notable Book Club - "Dissecting Anatomy of a Murder" with Eugene Milihizer DESCRIPTION:UP Notable Book Club presents a Q&A session with Eugene Milihizer about “Dissecting Anatomy of a Murder” \nUP Notable Book Club:  the Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled author events with winners of the UP Notable Book List. The 29th event is with Eugene R. Milihizer and his in-depth analysis of fact and fiction behind both the novel and movie Anatomy of a Murder.  As a distinguished professor of law\, Milihizer has unique insights to provide to the literary\, legal\, and cinematic dimensions of the story. The movie was famously filmed in both Ishpeming and Marquette\, Michigan in an era when nearly all Hollywood productions were done on studio lots and sets. Milihizer captures rare recollections of this time in history in his book Dissecting Anatomy of a Murder\, from Ave Maria Law Press.  He was warmly received at Northern Michigan University during his book tour last year.  Milihizer writes: \n“I saw the film Anatomy of a Murder while in high school\, and soon thereafter read the novel on which it was based. Anatomy was a major influence in my decision to attend to law school and my career as a lawyer. My latest writing project is a courtroom thriller entitled Searching for Lilly\, which is an homage to the authenticity of John Voelker’s novel\, and his capacity and willingness to confront the larger moral and ethical issues that often arise during a contested murder trial. Publication of my novel is expected by July 2023.” \nWhen: August 10th\, 2023 at 7 pm Eastern / 6 pm Central\nWhere: on the Zoom platform — please contact Evelyn Gathu in advance by egathu@crystalfallslibrary.org\, or by phone at (906) 875-3344. We recommend you borrow a copy of these books from your local library or purchase from your local bookseller in advance to get the most out of these events.  \nDEAN EMERITUS EUGENE R. MILIHIZER participated in hundreds of appeals\, tried scores of criminal cases\, and served in multiple leadership positions as an Army Judge Advocate. For three years\, he held a teaching appointment at the Judge Advocate General’s School at the University of Virginia. In 2001\, he joined the Ave Maria faculty and his course of offerings have included Criminal Procedure\, Criminal Law\, National Security Law and Military Law. Dean Emeritus Milhizer has been an invited presenter at law schools across the country and his legal scholarship has been published in many prestigious law journals. In May 2006\, he was appointed Associate Dean for Academic Affairs\, and in April 2009\, he was appointed Acting Dean of the Law School. In January 2010\, he was appointed the Law School’s second President and Dean\, and he served in that position until his return to full-time teaching in the summer of 2014. During the summer of 2009\, under his leadership\, the Law School successfully accomplished the unprecedented feat of relocating from Michigan to Florida.  \n“The all-encompassing structure of Milhizer’s Dissecting Anatomy of a Murder makes it unique and a must-read for the Anatomy completist. Specifically\, the book divides into three sections:  the early life and career of lawyer John D. Voelker (pen name Robert Traver)\, a detailed comparison of the real-life case\, the real-life story of how Lt. Coleman A. Peterson shot and killed tavern owner Maurice Chenoweth point-blank in Big Bay vs. the screenplay depictions of case materials\, and lastly an intense legal analysis of the pivotal issues including the insanity defense\, jury nullification\, and the underutilization of voir dire (eliminating unqualified jurors). \nSprinkled throughout the copiously footnoted book are wonderful reminisces from John Voelker about his career both as a struggling lawyer and then as 16 years as prosecuting attorney for Marquette County.  Voelker’s love for the rugged beauty and wilderness of the U.P. comes through his disdain for how the newly constructed Big Mac bridge would open up the U.P. to just about anybody and how carefully he hid his favorite trout fishing hole.  Some of these reflections come to us through excerpts of his three prior unsuccessful novels and his extensive personal diaries which give us a rare look at the man behind the mirror. In one of life’s cruel ironies\, Voelker was finally selected as a Michigan Supreme Court justice just weeks after Anatomy of a Murder became a New York Times Bestseller. This would have also solved his financial woes but at the cost of forsaking his beloved U.P.”   — read the full review by Victor R. Volkman\, U.P. Book Review \nMore information about the U.P.

Notable Book Club - North of Nelson with Hilton Everett Moore DESCRIPTION:UP Notable Book Club presents a Q&A session with Hilton Everett Moore about “North of Nelson: Stories of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula – Volume 1”\nUP Notable Book Club:  the Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled author events with winners of the UP Notable Book List. The 28th event is with Hilton Everett Moore’s debut short story collection North of Nelson: Stories of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula – Volume 1. Follow the ups and downs of residents over a span of 150 years in a fictional small community somewhere in Baraga County in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.  Some have compared the series from Silver Mountain Press to a Michener saga\, albeit on a smaller scale. You can enjoy the book in paperback\, hardcover\, eBook\, and audiobook editions. \nWhen: June 8th\, 2023 at 7 pm Eastern / 6 pm Central\nWhere: on the Zoom platform — please contact Evelyn Gathu in advance by egathu@crystalfallslibrary.org\, or by phone at (906) 875-3344. We recommend you borrow a copy of these books from your local library or purchase from your local bookseller in advance to get the most out of these events.  \nHILTON EVERETT MOORE is a published short story author who lives and writes at his remote cabin in the near wilderness of Baraga County in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He has held many positions in his life including: a stint as a kennel man for a Humane Society\, a factory worker\, later as a certified pipe welder in the oil fields of West Texas\, and also as an assistant manager of a lumber company. Ironically in a chapter he would like to forget\, a gut-wrenching failed attempt at owning a restaurant. After a midlife crisis he went back to college and received a Master’s Degree in Social Work. Upon graduation\, he was employed in the Michigan prison system as a Clinical Social Worker. Presently he enjoys writing in his cabin in the wilderness. He likes to fish with worms.. \nThe short stories\, such as “A Shotgun Wedding”\, in North of Nelson are relatable to anyone. In this chapter\, a woman felt forced to get married because of pregnancy and then found out she was not happy with the result. Many people have struggled when it came to pets and they were presented with problems that were not easily solved which was described in the chapter called “A Dog Named Bunny.” And the situation described in “The Irascible Pedagogue” is equally relatable. If only the protagonist had asked her to dance with him instead of getting cold feet\, things would have turned out so much differently. That story reminded me of the movie My Best Friend’s Wedding with Julia Roberts. Julia’s character did a whole host of things to win back her friend and take him from the person he was going to marry. \nI recommend this book because of the stories filled with touching moments about real-life situations and how the characters struggled to overcome their life challenges. Sometimes a problem took on a whole new life of its own without any solution. Moore provided the reader with the ramifications of many of the hardships the characters in his stories faced. I wanted to find out what was going to happen to the well-developed characters\, individuals who resembled people I have met throughout my life. Moore brought to life the pain Nimkii experienced as a Native American woman and the pain of loneliness for a boy while he dealt with polio. I highly recommend North of Nelson\, Vol. 1 if you want to learn more about life during The Depression\, about life at the Baraga orphanage\, and other experiences from the past concerning the characters from Moore’s book who lived in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  — read the full review by Sharon Brunner\, U.P.

She has two successful adult sons\, two amazing daughters-in-law\, and five adorable grandchildren who reside in Seattle\, Washington\, and St. Petersburg\, Florida. \n“The Legend of Kitch-iti-kipi\, by Carole Lynn Hare\, is a retelling of the eponymous myth as passed down through generations of Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa (Ojibwe) Indian band.  The author\, whose Native American name is Miskwa Anang Kwe\, has an intimate connection to this legend.  Although packaged in a slim 24-page chapbook format\, The Legend of Kitch-iti-kipi tells a gripping story and includes several illustrations by Manistique-area artist Ryan Gilroy. \nKitch-iti-kipi is a natural\, spring-fed lake about 12 miles north of Manistique\, which is on the north shore of Lake Michigan. It also goes by names like “The Big Spring” or “Mirror of Heaven.”  Two hundred feet across\, the 40-foot deep Kitch-iti-kipi is Michigan’s largest freshwater spring; over 10\,000 gallons a minute gush from fissures in the underlying limestone. The flow continues throughout the year at a constant 45 degree Fahrenheit.\nThis book is a great introduction to tribal lore for anyone interested in the history of the Ojibwe people in the Upper Peninsula.  In particular\, I would recommend the booklet for classroom use in any unit on Native American history and culture. It is my hope that this reinvigorated edition of the legend will find a new generation of young people called forth to learn more about the culture\, whether or not it is their own heritage.” — Read the complete review at the U.P.

Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled author events with winners of the UP Notable Book List. The 22nd event is with Brad Blair & Tim Ellis whose Great Lakes Monsters and Mysteries continues their exploration of the bizarre and otherworldly in their latest book.

We recommend you borrow a copy of these books from your local library or purchase from your local bookseller in advance to get the most out of these events.  \nTIM ELLIS is a veteran paranormal investigator\, who has traveled the country looking for the strange and weird\, and in 1999 started the Upper Peninsula Paranormal Research Society with Brad Blair and Steve LaPlaunt.  He is the co-host of Creaking Door Paranormal Radio\, former host of TAPS Family Radio\, co-founder of the Michigan Paranormal Convention\, and co-author of the Paranormal hit books\, Yoopernatural Haunts and Great Lakes Monsters and Mysteries. He has been featured in documentaries and numerous publications\, including USA Today\, The Detroit Free Press\, and Lake Superior Magazine.\n \nBRAD BLAIR is the co-host of Creaking Door Paranormal Radio\, veteran paranormal researcher and author.  In 1999 he founded the Upper Peninsula Paranormal Research Society with Tim Ellis and Steve LaPlaunt.  Brad has investigated claims of paranormal activity across the US and other Countries\, including England\, and Cuba. He has contributed to numerous books and documentaries on the paranormal\, has appeared in various publications\, and is co-founder of the Michigan Paranormal Convention. \n“In their latest book\, Ellis and Blair expand their area of interest\, stretching their paranormal research across the entire great lakes region\, and enveloping more than just ghosts and cryptids.  (A cryptid\, for those who don’t know\, is a creature for which there is no physical or scientific evidence\, but still has people who believe it exists. The most popular of these being the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot.) \n“They take an approach with this book that makes it stand out from others I’ve read in the same genre\, by mixing the historical research they’ve done with seemingly unbelievable tales.  I’ve lived my whole life here and never heard some of the stories\, which I really appreciated.  I like being able to learn a little bit about the actual history of the area while I’m trying to scare myself silly. \n“Did you know that there was a UFO sighting in the Upper Peninsula in 1953?  It is known in those circles as the Kinross Incident and was widely reported at the time.  Near Kinross Air Force Base in the Eastern U.P. something was seen in the sky and a fighter jet was scrambled to go find it.  The pilot and plane were never seen nor heard from again.  There are numerous sightings of ghost ships and haunted locations discussed in the book\, but each one is introduced with historical research in regards to what was claimed to have been seen.”\nRead the complete review by Brad Gischia at U.P.
