The poems in Balancing were inspired by the experiences of women who in the 19th and early 20th centuries sought new homes in the Upper Midwest. The first waves of pioneers predominantly Yankees from Northeastern states were soon followed by European immigrants. Few women recorded their struggles and satisfactions but by juxtaposing research and imagination Kathleen Ernst breathes new life into their forgotten stories.
