Above: The critter in question.

New episode of Michael Perry’s “Voice Mail” is available to subscribers and non-subscribers alike, right here.

When Wisconsin Historical Society Press asked me to describe this book I said:

“From taverns to kitchen tables to septic tanks to hospital bedsides, Patti See is a careful, clear-eyed observer. These stories are heartbreakers, they’re knee-slappers, and always–always–they are woven with tenderness and love.”

And I meant it. Of course you can always get my attention with a good septic tank story.

More here. Bonus salute: Chippewa County!

This is me revising a manuscript. Toward the end, in the polishing stage. When it’s down to tweaking a word or a syllable, trying out different looks, sounds, rhythms, meanings. The only downside is I never feel like I’m done. Always want one more pass.
