At the age of sixty, Suzanne Sunshower moved into an ancient hunt camp trailer, which she named Bear Shack, in a remote area of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This is her story.
In her new collection Still Wild, Sunshower loses herself in the remote wilderness of Upper Michigan. Many poets and writers have made this journey. In Sunshower's hands, however, the path is studded with 'the last afros of red and orange' autumn and 'the pale, the pan' of the moon. Each yearling and chickadee become revelations as she struggles through blizzards, griefs, ice storms, and invaders. The way isn't easy. -- Martin Achatz, author of A Bigfoot Bestiary and Other Wonders
Sunshower depicts the Midwest as a frontier, sometimes feared, sometimes embraced, always alive. She challenges the stereotype that the Midwest is merely a place to fly over. Sunshower reminds us to pay attention, to look up, to find home. -- CJ Giroux, author of Sheltered in Place and Destination, Michigan
Go deep into the woods in the pages of Still Wild and find yourself among something extraordinary in this brave tale of becoming a true Yooper. -- Lisa Fosmo, author of Mercy is a Bright Darkness
SUZANNE SUNSHOWER is the author and editor of five books. She lives with her dog in Upper Michigan.
