Lorine Niedecker
Lorine Niedecker (1903–70) was a poet of extraordinary talent whose life and work were long enveloped in obscurity. After her death in 1970, poet Basil Bunting wrote that she was “the most interesting woman poet America has yet produced . . . only beginning to be appreciated when she died.” Her poverty and arduous family life, the isolated home in Wisconsin that provided rich imagery for her work, and her unusual acquaintances have all contributed to Niedecker’s enigmatic reputation.

She depicts Niedecker’s watery world on Blackhawk Island (near Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin), whe...

Lighthouses of the Great Lakes
The lighthouses of the Great Lakes, for so long guiding ships to safety across the rough waters, still stand as beacons to adventurous travelers. Rich with vintage and contemporary photographs, picturing the lighthouses inside and out, by day and by night, the book takes you into the fascinating history of the structures at Split Rock, Sandusky, Big Sable Point, Old Mackinac Point Light, and Marblehead Light, to name a few. Berger’s stories about keepers and their families, horrific storms, and even encounters with ghosts bring to vivid life the lost world of these historic lighthouses. A thoroughly engaging tour page by page, the book also makes travel to these destinations easy as well as edifying, with maps, directions, and a comprehensive appendix listing all the current lighthouses.

Weser, Wolf, Winnebago, and Westward
This book is about two families who lived at opposite ends of Germany and later met in Wisconsin. Both families traveled to the United States via the port of Bremen and both made new homes near the Wolf River and Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin. Six brothers and sisters from the Romberg family emigrated from Braunschweig, Germany to Wisconsin in the 1850s and 1860s. The Knokes, neighbors from Braunschweig, came to America at the same time and intermarried with the Rombergs. In the 1870s, Wilhelmine and Ludwig Patzlaff and eight of their ten children came to Wisconsin from a different part of Germany, Pomerania in Prussia. The Patzlaffs settled on farms a few miles south of the Romberg family in Black Wolf Township in Winnebago County. The Patzlaff and Romberg families connected in 1873 when Caroline Patzlaff, one of the children of Wilhemine and Ludwig, married Heinrich Ahswede, a Romberg counsin. In 1878 William Kester, the son of one of the original Romberg immigrants, married Alvine Patzlaff, another daughter of Wilhemine and Ludwig.
