This land, sweeping north and west from Lake Superior's western shore, is primarily boreal forest, rivers, and lakes, with cliffs formed by prehistoric volcanoes and glacial ice. The lure of this land is the unifying force behind Henricksson's anthology. Through its stories, the land is celebrated, cursed, glorified, and explored by writers who simultaneously reveal themselves, their cultures, and their roots.
