Keweenaw Bay Songs

Phil Smith's second book of poems, Keweenaw Bay Songs represents a decade of living beside Lake Superior's Keweenaw Bay. From the west side of the bay, in a cabin on the Abbaye Peninsula, he looks out at the lake, a field, and his neighbors-some of them human, some plants, some animals. This work explores what it means to be rooted in place, to learn about the North Country, to understand what it all means. These are snapshots, snippets, little bits of life in the natural world-in them, you can feel the air, see the lake, find connections to a flower or a bird.
