Publisher's Summary

Michigan's Upper Peninsula is blessed with a treasure chest of writers and poets, all seeking to capture the diverse experiences of Yooper life. Now, U.P. Reader offers a rich collection of their voices that embraces the U.P.'s natural beauty and way of life, along with a few surprises.

The 28 works in this first annual volume take listeners on a U.P. road trip from the Mackinac Bridge to Menominee. The audiobook is rich with descriptions of the characters and culture that make the Upper Peninsula worth living in and writing about.

Whether you're a native Yooper or just wish you were, you'll love U.P. Reader and want to share it with all your Yooper family and friends.

"U.P. Reader offers a wonderful mix of storytelling, poetry, and Yooper culture. Here's to many future volumes!" (Sonny Longtine, author of Murder in Michigan's Upper Peninsula)

"Share in the bounty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula with those who love it most. The U.P. Reader has something for everyone. Congratulations to my writer and poet peers for a job well done." (Gretchen Preston, vice president, Upper Peninsula Publishers and Authors Association)

"As readers embark upon this storied landscape, they learn that the people of Michigan's Upper Peninsula offer a unique voice, a tribute to a timeless place too long silent." (Sue Harrison, international best-selling author of Mother Earth Father Sky)

"I was amazed by the variety of voices in this volume. U.P. Reader offers a little of everything, from short stories to nature poetry, fantasy to reality, Yooper lore to humor. I look forward to the next issue." (Jackie Stark, editor, Marquette Monthly)
