Description:
I grew up in a very beautiful part of the world, the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, which used to be a center for copper mining but is now a wonderful wilderness of forests, lakes, ghost towns, and mountains. This quartet explores various parts of that world, from a native berry ripening in the sun, to an early fall blizzard, to a ghost town called Central, to the majestic Lake Superior itself, to the wolves who still live there. —Elena Ruehr Contents:I.
