UP Reader, 8th Volume

I am remiss in the late announcement of my appreciation for publication in the UP Reader. This is a wonderful anthology of writing centered upon the Upper Peninsula of Michigan – a wild and free land bordering on the Great Lakes Superior and Michigan. The poems, prose, and essays included in each volume inspire us all.

I am humbled by the editor’s Push Cart Nomination for my story, “Places Few Have Seen.”

A Civil War saga – by Michael Brantley, southern writer extraordinaire!

A wonderful Children’s Story – beautiful, original artwork by our dear friend – Paula Lansford!

Recommended Reading – Michael Brantley’s latest work: A Southern Season – Rural Stories
